The bike looks sweet. I'd do the same thing if I was commuting too. Which is something I should probably doing anyway.

The bastards got away with my newest set of Rechargeables too, and apparently my Polar Bottle. This day just keeps getting better.<BR/><BR/>I'll look into that. Definitely a viable option.

You probably already have the rechargeable AA's... I just cut up and old inner tube for padding and use a rubber band to mount it to my bars. You can also do the same thing on your helmet. $20 can't be beat.Chuong Doanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020007637752779296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-82718068018284582552008-08-18T07:46:00.000-05:002008-08-18T07:46:00.000-05:00Bryan, Keep in mind that this was built up as a co...Bryan, Keep in mind that this was built up as a commuter from the get-go. It had a rack on it (which was moved to Hybridzilla when I stopped using this bike regularly for commuting). Perhaps <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kc-bike/2435556746/in/set-72157605308555285/" REL="nofollow">This</A> will change your mind? I personally think it looks pretty slick with the rack AND the fenders, but fenders took some getting used to, aesthetically.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.focushacks.com/photo/2007-05-02-trek1200.jpg" REL="nofollow">This</A> is how it looked the day after I bought it.

Your road bikes looks very nice but I must admit that I have a hard time looking at it and not feeling somewhat nauseous at the site of fenders on such a beautiful machine. I know it's for commuting but man. That's like going to the local steakhouse and ordering fish. That's just not right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-21845607949669536652008-08-18T07:07:00.000-05:002008-08-18T07:07:00.000-05:00What an incredibly raw deal.

Maybe something a 36 spoke as opposed to a 32 that you find on most modern road bikes? Or finding a set of 36 spoke wheels ready-made and on the cheap? A 36 spoker might handle your weight better.<BR/><BR/> PS. I hope you find Hybridzilla's kidnapper and crush his nuts with a pair of pliers.Sirrus Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04831167730361057374noreply@blogger.com
