My C-Check is my commuter bike, and it's a complete hog. Weighs about 40 pounds.
Stock frame/fork, Sun CR18 32h rims with 14g spokes to an IRO high flange rear and a SON28 front.
Velo Orange stainless steel fenders. Rando rack with Berthoud bag. Bagman rack with Carradice Pendle.
Brooks Saddle. Flat-resistant 32mm tires. Pump. Lights. The whole shootin' match; and it's a tank.

I ride it 30 miles a day r/t to work, almost 10,000' of elevation per week. It's a great training bike.
