I'm still enjoying my new bike high. My new Bob Jackson touring frame arrived recently, and I just got it built up late last week. Rode it on a fairly long group ride (51 miles) on Saturday to see how it felt before loading it up with commuter gear. On Sunday, I installed fenders, lights, rear rack, seat bag and larger tires. So now it's my dedicated commuter and no more horsing around (at least not that often).

The bike rides great, particularly with the larger tires. The Planet Bike fenders are quiet and look nice. I've got no excuses for not riding to work anymore, not that I needed any.
