Here we have my daily rig. I picked this bike up off of a good friend of mine for a great deal. This particular frame is a 50cm. I wouldn't normally opt for this size of bicycle as I am just over 5'7 myself. However for the city, the tighter geo and smaller frame makes for a nimble, exciting, and easily maneuverable ride. Dailying this in the winter is fun. Ive got some good traction up front, with good stopping/ skidding ability on the real. Ive been out everyday on it since I built it up(all of January and into February) either working or just for fun and even a cold and snowy Ontario winter is no match for this beast. Ive been using the SKS S-blade fender on the rear(slammed to the bone for utmost protection) and ive been super happy with it. To top it off, quite possibly the best investment for my winter riding, are the new Krubby Bar Mitts i purchased this season. These are seriously bomb proof.
