+1 I'll second that regarding FG being excellent in winter!!! I have an excellent Nokian-shod, aluminum Fisher Opie that is setup as a true "ice bike", but when the roads are not too icy my FG is my first choice.
And also endorse the use of disc brakes, hydraulic preferred but cable-operated too are far superior to v-brakes or cantilevers, and I am still laughing over the suggestion to use WD-40, because other than "polishing" the matte black finish on my bikes black components, this is the only place I use WD on any of my bikes as well.
