Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

MY winter bike is an old Royce Union as well! Cool! Yours the Gibraltar model?
By the way, I've had pretty good luck last winter running the Geax Evolution commuter tire. Good traction and stability and less rolling resistance than Knobbies. Also Kevlar tire, so really puncture resistant. I've also done some short weekend tours with this bike before I got my road bike, and was surprised at how well it did!
