After swapping my crankset out for a standard road double I reset my commuter to pure road bike configuration. No rack, no fenders,slammed and flipped etc but I did leave the lights on it. No particular reason except for a change of pace, only figuratively since I'm no faster this way, but it's fun to have a different ride feel sometimes. Maybe swap out my platforms now for clipless ... Great ride in on my new 7.5 mile commute, wet which seems to be the new normal but not unpleasantly so.
