So Beth, what about setting up the LL with 35s without fenders and just ride it on nice days when rain isn't predicted (cue laughtrack, Beth lives in Portland, OR). I've had a similar issue with my Rambouillet. Right now it is grudgingly sporting 32s and waiting for fenders. For the most part

Hi Beth, Don't know about you - but I do get attached to my bikes. Probably foolishly so. Looks like you could ride your AR in any weather, all day, when you're tired, etc. How about setting up the LL as a go- fast for shorter, spirited rides when you're feeling frisky? 32mm Paselas are
