Hey fellow commuters! I ride a round trip commute of 45km (28 miles) to work on this rig. Much of it is in Vancouver weather (think Seattle rains), so fenders are a must. Use a courier bag to bring change of clothes (panniers seem to have me draggin a lot of dirt into office). Shower and secure parking at work, so don't have to park this outside.

Here's the spec:
'06 Marinoni Ciclo (Sport touring/Audex frame, custom paint, made in Canada). Carbon fork with eyelet (I've finally chopped the steerer now)
10sp Campagnolo Centaur brifters
Campagnolo Veloce deraileurs, bb, compact cranks (50/34) and brakes
Ultegra cassette (12-25), chain and rear hub. 105 front hub.
Mavic Open Pro CD rims (700c) with Conti Gatorskins (23c)
FSA wing bars (flat top, 31.8)
Selle italia TransAm saddle
Still to come - Tubus Vega rack, PB Cascadia fenders, SON dyno hub, Carradice racktop bag.


It's the first 700c bike I've owned after 15 years of 26" bikes. It's also first bike I've had professionally fit and the end result is a much more comfortable commute, rain or shine. I ride this on rec rides on weekends and hope to do some "credit card touring" and audex in the summer.
