Wow, points of view here I didn't consider. I already have unobtaniums little brother (the 911), i didn't realize parts would be that expensive but then the bikes are well built.

I guess "commuter" wasn't really a proper description. I live 7-8 miles out on some roads that are not heavily traveled and can sorta choose between a left and a right at a couple spots to get to work at the beach. Sometimes its 6am and no-one on the road. Middle of the day can be horrific but I try to not get in the middle of it.

I never even considered over-heating could be an issue.

I'm going to call a shop in DC on Monday with a "Parts list" just to get an idea of what some of the more disposable parts would cost.
