Hey Bikemig- I was hoping to see those trekking bars! That XC Pro stuff is the cat's pyjamas, isn't it?

I've kind of thought about trekking bars for this or my High Sierra- which I've changed to drops.

Since this seems to have a distinct Specialized flavor going on-

My first commuter is/was an 84 Stumpjumper Sport- before I got panniers. It is a bit on the "tank" side of heavy, but it rides quite nicely.
