Back in 2007, I bought a Bleriot frame, had S&S couplers installed, and built it up. My gruppo is the "shiny silver Shimano compatible" set. It looked very nice and shiny, and was meant to be my rando bike. My then-commuter/rando bike, a Sekai 2400, died a horrible death just before I built up the Bleriot. So Bleriot became my commute bike as well.
Riding buddy: "you are going to commute on your RIVENDELL?" Me: "it is a bike. get over it." 13000 miles later, one wreck (new tubes! new paint!), still going strong, and it gets ridden everywhere. And, yes, it does stick out a bit among all the "commuter/beater" bikes. I don't care.
