Here's my 100% bone stock Diamondback Sorrento that I will be using for a commuter bike. I added an overly nice Tubus touring rack and dug through our garage to find possibly the world's worst panniers that my wife used when she was in grad school. Most of the places I go to for errands or appointments are within a 10 mi radius of my house and I really want to bike instead of drive bc it is more fun, less aggravating and often times quicker. I also wanted a bike that I could lock up outside of a store while I shopped without being paranoid about it being taken. This bike ticks all the boxes and although I will probably change components out over time (it may show up on xbiking someday :)) for now the stock parts are all in really good condition and work well (the 90's saddle is actually pretty comfortable lol).
