Wind is my mortal enemy half the time, and my good friend when it's going the other way. I put on between 20-40 miles a day generally.
My bike cost $125, but I got it from one of those "works out of a garage" kind of guys. It should probably have cost around $350 or so. Eventually I'll have some really nice rims on there, but one step at a time. I love it more than any other vehicle (motorized or unmotorized) that I have ever owned. I like that you don't have to spend a ton of money to have a very fast, unique bike. You can always keep upgrading parts. The French frames are sweet, but the disadvantage is that they have French threading and the parts can be a little harder to get a hold of sometimes.
I love the lugs on yours. Very cool.
