Hi,

I ride a Cannondale 50/50 w/ a sprung Brooks Champion saddle, front disc avid bb7, nitto moustache bars
Schmidt dyno hub front and rear lights, bell, regular pannier and a suit bag pannier strapped to a Jannd expidition rack. Bike must be close to 50lbs when fully loaded. I put a set of Conti town and counrty's on it. It is the Lincoln town car of bikes! While it is haevy as all get out it is a commuter and the bike feels as if I could ride it anywhere. It does have the eccentric bb. I swapped the front ring for a 38 insted of the 32 it came with. Before I had it all tricked out I rode some trails with it and it perfomred well. It is an awsome winter bike and I plan to get some studded nokians this fall. I ride an old Trek TX 500 from may to Nov. then the c'dale from Nov.to April. No complaints. The nice by product is that the Trek feels like it is made of paper when I first get on it! I ain't no weight weenie!
