I heartily agree with Laing, above :) Strip it down, go big with the tires. Looks like you're racked and fendered on your other bikes. I think Grant's emphasis on racks, bag and fenders is a suggestion for having *one hyper-*practical bike that can handle many situations. When you have three

The humidity can be brutal here in Virginia. This spring has been a gift with pleasant temperatures, cool mornings, breezes and low humidity lasting longer than normal. It was warm and a bit humid on Saturday. The temperature inside the tunnel felt like it was 30º cooler! No kidding. On Sund
