Hey there. I hope this will make sense to you all out there. My b-days in a week and I can't decide whether or not if I want a new bike. The one I have is not really in good shape and I have to ride 26 miles round trip to and from home and work. Would it make sense to keep my current bike as a bike for when I'm in town and the new one as a commuter bike? I don't really trust my current one as the bearings in the crank where the pedals are is completely shot. Please help me make a wise and informed decision as I'm getting a headache trying to decide for myself. Thanks.
