This is my bike. I use it to travel to my office (16kms round trip) and to travel around town (I am from Costa Rica). It is also my MTB, however, since I am visiting less the mountains and the beaches, I have it set up for city riding (and will continue as this for some time ).

I Will keep the Fox fork since here you dont have the finest roads around! (it also has remote lock)

I am currently using Hutchinson 1.7 slicks, been contemplating changing to some schwalbe big apples or marathons (2.10) but not sure...

I will add the topeak MTX DeFender for the beam rack to cover the back, but I am unsure about any fenders on the front. Also currently using a MTX trunk bag and it is sufficient for my needs (not much in terms of loading)

I would like to ask you for any suggestions or improvements, opinions on what to change on my commuter (i.e. 700 wheels?, another rack for the back?) ... and the reasoning why you would think it will improve my bike!, thanks!!

Here some pics!
