every one of my bikes does double-duty as a commuter. This one is no exception. Cross-post from C&V; my 1983 Lotus Pegasus that I built up with M.A.P. / Ahearne bars, half-step+granny gearing, a green Brooks saddle, etc. Considering a front WALD basket to add some extra carrying capacity, thought the Carradice bag can hold plenty (just not enough beer on the way home)
