Yes! I absolutely will be riding it! It will be used for some light commuting for classes I'm taking and slow "charity" rides. I ordered some tires today and it should be up and running by the weekend.
I do have a quandary though. The classes I'm taking are at a nearby jr. college. The area is safe (low crime) enough, but I'm a little concerned about theft. While the bike certainly looks "tired", it has high end components (albeit 14 years old) on it and the frame alone is from prestigious lineage. However, unless you "knew" bike components/frames, you wouldn't think much of the bike. I guess I'm just hoping the thief will pass it over for something more "marketable" and someone knowledgeable of the bike isn't a thief.
Oh well, I can only do what I can do. I guess I'll take all reasonable precautions and not worry about it.
