All I had to do was read the first page. noglider and oddjob2 are tied in my book.

noglider- you get a whole change of attitude with handlebars. The Suburban makes me want to go slow and gawk, I feel more relaxed, leisurely. I can just hop on it and go. It's nicer on my hands, too. When I get on the BD/Moto road bike bag o' tricks. I feel a bit aggressive and lycra/helmet mannered. Given the weather right now, I'm not sure which I'll ride more, since they are both recent acquisitions. but my hunch is the Subbie (or the more recent 3-speed Speedster?). I could go off on different bike/different mood,/different feel/different ride, but that's another topic...

oddjob2- Maintenance makes a world of difference. A bike with low tires and old grease is a chore to ride, no matter what it cost, or what hangs on the frame. The cheap one in shape will always be more pleasant than the tired classic....
