I was about to pull the trigger on a Kilo TT for commuting ($400 SingleSpeed), but I waited about a week instead and found a used Torelli Tipo Uno for $200 I bought instead. I too am a 6'5" so the bikes do show up, don't lose hope! I highly recommend using http://www.searchtempest.com/ so you can search your surrounding Craigslist's too (provided you have available transportation to get to nearby cities, the bike I found was 80 miles from me, but well worth the trip!).

Edit: You could maybe go for something along the lines of this CAAD8 and slap an Axiom Streamliner on that bad boy if you're not planning on carrying a TON for your commute.
If you want something more commuter'y here's another option, they do exist! :D

That said, if you do want a BikesDirect bike I have heard a lot of good things about the Motobecane Grand Record

I use Axiom Streamliner DLX Road rack on LeMond Buenos Aires. Steel road bike.

You need the axle adapter in addition. Works for me.

I fitted the Pacer with an Axiom Streamliner Rack.
The rack sticks a few inches out of the rear axle to compensate for the short chainstay. It didn't solve heel strike and bike shimmy but it was a bit ambitious to expect the pacer to carry a load anyway.

I just bought this “slim” axiom rack. didn’t want the same wide rack as I have on my hybrid bike. I should have it installed by this weekend.

I spent some time in google maps and and street view. For your Route Would going down Glenoaks Blvd to Sonora Ave then down Riverside Ave work for you? it ends up being 4.8 miles but with that route it's a bike lane until Riverside Dr and Bob Hope to your destination, so almost the whole trip would be by bike lane https://goo.gl/maps/oNfXYXZt9HS2. If you're comfortable walking you could walk the bike on the sidewalk for the last section of it and cool off. so you aren't riding "in traffic" until you're more comfortable with it.

For a pannier rack without a rack mount you can try something that attaches to your seat post if the load won't be too heavy like this https://www.amazon.com/Blackburn-Interlock-Seatpost-Rack-Black/dp/B00GCB6EEW/ref=sr_1_41?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1550901567&sr=1-41&keywords=seat+post+pannier+rack as long as it has something going down on the sides to keep panniers swinging into your back wheel as you ride. I've never used one like this so I don't have any first had advice on how well it keeps the bags from swinging into the rear wheel

Or you can try something like this https://www.amazon.com/Axiom-Streamliner-Road-DLX-Racks/dp/B003UWESMQ the bottom mounting holes go where your rear wheel axles are, the quick release skewer goes through the rack mounting holes and through the wheel. The silver looking tongue in the front goes between the rear brakes and the frame using the bolt for the brake calipers to hold it in place. It'll keep the bags stable, hold more weight than a seat post rack, and sit a little further back so your heels don't hit the panniers. I have this rack on an old road bike I use for my commute to work and I love it

​

Hope you have a great time with your commute and stay safe

Buy a rack made for road bikes without rack mounts. The best cheap one is this: https://www.amazon.com/Axiom-Streamliner-Road-DLX-Racks/dp/B003UWESMQ

The best expensive one is the Tubus Fly Classic plus the Tubus QR mount kit. It will cost 3-4 times as much as the Axiom.

That $1000 range is pretty ripe with options, lucky for you. Roads and paved trails definitely leaves you open to a road bike, not just a cyclocross bike. If the roads are really rough, you can move up to a 25mm or 28mm tire if need be, but you have the Bullit for any fun on dirt you could ever want to have.

Your desire for a rack, however, in some ways limits both road and cyclocross options, as it is likely you would like to have eyelets in the frame to mount racks (there are racks that don't require them, e.g. Axiom's Streamliner DLX). Both dedicated road and cyclocross bikes are usually designed for racing, so they often won't have the eyelets. The exceptions I know of are Trek's 1-series bikes, which may be your best road choice, and Specialized's Secteur, which has a more upright "endurance" geometry. I know of no dedicated cyclocross bikes with eyelets. There is a sort of "crossover genre" of... what would you call them... "sports cross" bikes? These are bikes like Specialized's Tricross and Trek's Crossrip. These bikes won't be as aggressive geometry or otherwise as either road or cyclocross bikes but may be suited to what you want.

As for sizing, I have a long ~35" inseam and ride a 58cm. Best thing I can recommend is going to a shop and trying out some bikes.

Something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Wald-Folding-Rear-Mounted-Basket/dp/B0073TQIOS

plus this:
http://www.amazon.com/Axiom-Streamliner-Road-DLX-Racks/dp/B003UWESMQ

That's assuming your backpack will fit inside that basket.

It's a great feature (although you don't mount the panniers at an angle, the upper rail is always parallel to the ground, but it does solve the heel clearance issue). I've seen a few other panniers that allow a similar sort of adjustment. For example, these (if you're in Canada). The alternative is to get a rack that has a setback like these axiom's. They let you mount the pannier's further back and away from swinging heels.

Having said that, my wife is really happy with her ortlieb city rollers and the adjustability fixed a problem with her last set.

u/jackwell · 1 pointr/bikecommuting

The rack is an axiom streamliner road rack, it's very narrow so it wouldn't be suitable for carrying anything on top but is fine for mounting the panniers on the side. The front mounts on to the bolt that holds the calipers in place and the rear is set back a couple of inches from the axle with a steel plate to give better heel clearance.

It is strong enough for commuting with a moderate load but If I would go for something with a more sturdy design if I was planning on carrying heavy loads.
