Bikes: 08 Seven Alaris, 07 Jamis Quest, 08 Swobo Dixon, 91 Specialized Rockhopper



I got a new road bike so I decided to spice & speed up my commute by converting my Jamis Quest into my commuter.

I decided on getting the Tubus Luna for a rack. It was expensive, but it's only about 12 oz and installation wasn't too difficult (Attached to the brake bridge, Jamis put the brazeons too close to the brakes!).

The Nashbar daytrekker bags, which I love and heartily endorse, kind of drape over this skinny rack, but it still works and stays on there just as well as a regular rack.

I"ll ride it for the first time to work tomorrow. I don't need fenders as I live in SoCal.

I'm looking forward to shaving off at least 3-5 minutes from commuting with the older Slobo Dixon. Soon, I'll sell the Dixon and just commute on this bad boy.

Next up? Business shoes with SPD clips?
