My utility bike/commuter is an Alpine Monitor Pass MTB with an all Deore Drive train. I believe it's a first or second generation mountain bike as it has a U-Brake (Pretty silly design for going through heavy mud); however, works great over a paved road. I also mounted a set of Planetbike Freddy fenders (these are now know as the hardcore model), a Nightrider Digital Evolution handles the lighting duties up front and a Cateye Blinky on a custom fender clamp handles the rear . The stem was changed out to an adjustable road stem to provide a more upright riding position as on this vintage mountain bike the positioning was more spread out and was a real neck killer on anything over 8 miles. I also put narrower Michelin Trans world City tires 26 X1.5 on it.
