that my job is only about 1.6 miles from me, so I can walk..but a bicycle I'll be there much much sooner. This will help a great deal when it becomes fall and winter.

At college, I plan on carpooling and/or walking, since there's a little town nearby.
Oh, and your username brings back memories of 'Anime Whose Line is it Anyways' that my friend used to make. We did Gundam Wing outtakes, and I pulled a helmut down over my eyes and ran into things.

5. If you're going to commute with it, |
|
replace the knobby mud-tires those are sold with with a set of street tires. You'll thank yourself for doing so, I assure you.
BTW - ditto CatholicEdHead. If this is for commuting, there's NO WAY you'll need 21 gears and that heavy a frame. I have a mountain bike I used to offroad with, and I didn't want to buy a new one when I gave that up and started using a bike for commuting, so I put road-slicks on it, but seriously, all those gears are just overkill, even for trail riding. I've never used more than 7 of 'em.
