My winter bike has been a work in progress ever since I purchased it.



I started with a stock 2007 Raleigh One Way.



The front wheel consists of a Sturmey Archer XFDD Dynohub (with generator and drum brake), and a Sun CR 18 rim, with heavy gauge spokes.





The rear wheel is consists of the brand new Sturmey Archer S3X three speed fixed gear hub. Mated to an Alex Sub rim (I wanted to get another Sun CR 18 for the rear wheel, but I found a good deal on a complete wheel set, so I just went with the rim that came with the hub).





Tires are Kenda Klondike 35mm (studded). I'd like to go with a smaller diameter, but that was all that was in stock when I ordered last year.



For lights I have an Inoled Extreme headlight and a B & M taillight.






This bike is a beast. With the two extra large hubs, it might be one of the heaviest fixed gear bikes that you're ever likely to ride. But it's safe, and it's totally bombproof. If I'm going to be commuting thirty miles in a day on a bike in the winter, I want to know that it isn't going to let me down at any point.

She ain't pretty, what with missing handlebar tape on the left side and all. But she's a winter bike, so that's to be expected.
