After some hard re-thinking...and re-reading this thread...I had made the assumption that the OP was referring to ultimate commuter bike as this is the Commuting Forum.
Not an ideal replacement for all my bikes, but I could make it work.
My 2009 Specialized Globe San Francisco 2
With the following modifications:
NuVinci N360 rear hub
Gates Carbon Belt drive (frame has split stays to accommodate)
Dynamo front hub/ head & tail lights
Trekking/Butterfly/Jones handlebars
Full fenders / front & rear racks
Added Seasonal tires: Continental Top Contact 26 (spring/fall)
Schwalbe Ice Spiker 26 (winter)
Gotta save my pennies...LOL
