Here is my CAADX. Decided against full fenders, I may reconsider next winter.

Another Volpe here....made a couple fit tweaks since this picture was taken, and built up a new wheelset for it, but it's still basically the same

The Bar Mitts are awesome, I've commuted down to 14 degrees and haven't required more than my thin summer fingerless gloves under the Bar Mitts.

My commuter-ized CAADX. Added a rack & pannier. And some Bontrager Hardcase tires for the debris-riddled downtown streets.

I think I posted these in another thread but here is before and after shots of my Diamondback Haanjo. I added the drop bars, road tires, and clipless pedals.

My 2014 Jamis Nova Sport. Great commuter bike! I've added Schwalbe marathon Plus tires, Thule commuter panniers and seat bag, Axiom Streamliner rack, Portland Design Works Fenders, and most recently, Selle Anatomica X-series saddle.

Yesterday in SF I saw a gold flake Trek XO1 (yes Trek not Bridgestone). It was parked by the ferry building and had a rear rack. Later I saw the owner pulling out with a couple of panniers, you know, a baguette, celery, just like the movies.

2015 Lynskey Urbanskey. Same frame as the Cooper CX, but with road cable routing. Finally turned into full commuter with rack and fenders. And bell.

The Super Sport DBX came out in 2006. A couple of years later, every one started coming out with their own country/adventure/gravel grinder road bikes.
Schwinn defined the bike before the trend. Its NOT a CX bike but its a very nice general all-round bike. It will never win a prize for speed but it does nearly everything asked of it and more.

Not to mention road bikes practically started out being pretty comparable to modern "adventure/gravel grinding" bikes with 32mm tires and all day comfort in mind. Somewhere along the way the big manufacturers forgot their way by dumping everything into less ideal road bikes because people need to identify with racers or something. But there have been plenty of companies who kept that spirit alive, and added to it tremendously.

I changed my tires this weekend. I now am riding on Vittoria Voyager Hypers. They're huge, rated at 37mm, measured at 35mm. They look like 3-speed tires, but they ride fast, as evidenced by my speedometer.

You might have gone too cheap. Sell them and treat yourself to some nice tires.

@noglider i am afraid you might be right. I am disappointed in that what I think i found out was that they do not make my michelin city with Protek anymore. The michelin Protek and protek urban are the only options. I will give them another ride or two to figure it out. it was raining and 40 degrees so i might not have been pushing hard.
