Bikes: Giant FCR2

I posted my commuter earlier but have done some upgrades. The bike started as a standard Giant FCR 2. I added a light setup, and a rear rack with a trunk. I use the bike for rides to work, which is 12.5 miles from my home. One drawback, I found the bike to put me in a position that I became more of a wind trap then I did on the mountain bike I used before. Here she is as posted earlier.



I have added ergonomic down tubes with Tiagra brake/shifters. I also added an adjustable 120cm stem. All has worked out well except for the brakes, the bike came equipped with V-Brakes and the brake levers do not pull with the same geometry as the stock levers. I can still lock up the brakes on dry pavement but they feel a littlie spongy. I think I may add Travel agents to the brakes. The bike got a full set of cables and housings and clip less pedals also.
Here she is now.
