It makes a lot of sense to have a rain bike - mudguards number one. Heavier chain lube like Chain-L helps keep water out. I've heard punctures are more likely in the wet, and fixing a flat in the rain sounds crap, so more puncture protection in the tyres... And maybe disc brakes, MTB hubs for more sealing, and so on... I wonder how many points of rain-specific spec you could come up with?
