The mtn bike is a giant and I just feel that if I'm really going to do this through summer and winter that I should go with the mtn. That has eyelets* for penniers*.

So do I trade the mtn for the road bike and get a free rack out of the deal or keep the mtn and just buy a rack and penniers.

I'm thinking keep the mtn bike. I can always buy some thiner* tires for it.
