In the past, no; but this year I am buying Nokia Extreme 29ers for my Hunq. I
am worried about the road crud also,but the MUP's could be a lot of fun with an

I really want to ride mine this winter, but don't want it to get damaged by

The damage from salt and such isn't an issue until the temperature starts
to rise a bit above zero F. Where do you ride at? When in doubt, a simple
rinse of the bike with not-very-high-presure water will keep her from
rusting on you. You might also give the bike a protective pre-season coat

I choose not to. However, there is someone in St. Paul, MN who I've
regularly seen on an AHH. Also, a co-worker has a Protovelo (Bleriot) that

Personally, I use either my Surly LHT or a Surly

Well I ride my bikes in winter and had no issues. Fenders keep most the gunk
off. Wheels collected the vast majority of dirt so I would wipe down the
wheels around the nipples once in awhile.
Now put those winter photos, after all these 100'plus degree days we need
cooling off :)
