Bikes: Heavy, with friction shifters

I like the double 46-32, although I'd always rather take a triple - 44-32-22 for (uni)versatility. While I'm at it, I'd always opt for a more durable, cheaper, more robust 7, or 8 speed cassette for commuting purpouses.

Hauling groceries, kids seat, trailer, etc - 32 chainring can be too big for some steep climbs when commuting, not training.

I'd also always take drop bars for versatility, or flat bars for convenience. Bull horns look like fashion over function to me.
