Yeah - its suprising how well some things can work with a few modifications and a couple interesting accessories can make a dramatic difference in any ride. Personally I'd take some really decent lights over another bike - but that just me. Currently I'm looking into Thule's Freeload racks. At $200 a rack - it better be a long term purchase!
