I got a race-ish bike that's got a Brooks saddle, Carradice bag, bar speakers and MKS Grip Kings. It's comfortable, carries ~30lbs of stuff if need be (with cargo net and some fixin' on the Bagman), doesn't need clipless since I don't wear those anymore. There's something else I use for foul weather but I see no reason not to go out w/ this one if it's sunny out. A bike is a bike, and one that gets me a little quicker to work means an extra minute or two to slack off elsewhere.
