I've changed the Miyata that I think I posted here a while back into a pretty darn good commuter.

I remember when you first posted that bike, wasn't it a friends old bike? It looks great the way you have it set up... I even like the splash bar tape :eek: It matches the bike really well.

Good memory! Yeah, the splash bar tap & orange Jagwire brake cable housing is my inner "Fred" peeking through!

Sweet. Is there no room for fenders, or do you just not need them?

It looks really tight in the front. sixtyfiver had a thread showing a pair of fenders he cut in half because of clearance issues, it didn't look bad at all.

Both. It's pretty tight on the front, and the rack acts as a fender.

Plus, I live in the Sonoran Desert. Not much rain here in Phoenix. :)
