I originally posted my winter bike below when I should have posted here. Sorry about my faux pas.
This is the semi-final version of my winter bike. I am not a drop bar kind of guy but I thought I would give it another try. Trek Portland that has been made into a single speed. Took off the 10 speed 105, put on a White Industries ENO crank, MKS pedals, Schwalbe Marathon Winters 35's, SKS fenders, changed out the bar to Race Face, Tektro brake and cross top levers. Spacer kit, 18 tooth Shimano cog (to be replaced by a Surly with a wider base), spacer kit and Surly Singleator. Last I replaced the seat post with a Soma set back and changed out the saddle to a Specialized Avatar.
Tomorrow will be my first day taking it to work.

What better way to test out the Nokian's than a steep ice covered drainage ramp.

After a 10km ride home, getting caught in a snow storm with the top down, and plowing into a drift while climbing the last bridge to home:

Some of these bikes are so pretty/shiny that I'd be scared to ride them in the winter (I'm talking to you Thomand and Syvakma1).

Winter solitude is great. It has to be a bit cooler in these parts before the trails empty.

Ok I know I have shown my bike numerous times but this is the FINAL version. I hated the drops, I don't know why I even try anymore. I am happy with it now. My winter bike is complete.

I have two winter bikes, one smooth-tired for dry / bare pavement days, and another with Xtracycle kit and studded front tire. Both are early 90's hybrid frames. Here the smoothie tows one of my trailers.
The Xtracycle, seeing its first use in winter, has proved amazingly stable! I feel much safer on this bike when the roads are iffy.

2004 Devinci Oslo
I could look at this thread all day. Great bikes, everyone!
I seem to be going the opposite direction of most others... from fatter 26" tires and a heavy MTB frame to 700X35 Schwalbe Marathon Winter tires on a lighter Alu frame. Less able to handle everything, but better for my street commute 95% of the time. I've been enjoying this latest Winter Bike alot. 2004 Devinci Oslo. Pedals flat one side, cleated the other. I hate snow buildup under normal fenders, so I have improvised a little. I thought the panniers might collect lots of slush/ice/snow, but so far so good; very little has stuck to them so far. Best (coldest) day today so far this winter where I live in London, Ontario, Canada at -18C (-0.4 F). It was a great commute, got a little too hot actually.
I've written lots about winter riding and other Mutant Winter bikes on my blog, rantwick.com .
