tracheopterix, I'm very jealous. Sounds like that will be a lot of fun, particularly since you've taken the time to think it through. From what I've heard on these forums, I would really shy away from 23c tires (the Vittoria Rubino Pros) for a commuter unless you want to spend a lot of time fixing flats. What colour frame are you planning to get? I'd think that B17 would look awfully nice with the dark metallic green.
