Hailing from sunny south Texas...Corpus Christi. Intended use for the bike is commuting around 2000 miles a month to Houston and back. I would be riding at night frequently and probably get caught in some weather occasionally as well. I didn't want a ride that is too light due to having to ride...

What is the phone number for D & H?
