I plan to add a rear rack and panniers and do a dropbar conversion. Its pretty great just what I was looking for. It performed well on the commute on Friday and was wonderful on the 20+ mile ride I took this morning. Here are some pics from this morning's ride.

Well, even though I started a new thread for this one, I'll post it here as well. Custom build using a Surly Disc Trucker frame, Shimano Alfine 8 IGH, and Avid BB7 brakes.

LOL I had to look "ponking" up to see what it meant. The frame seems plenty stiff but its not as responsive as my Windsor Shetland, but thats not surprising given their relative geometry. The Citta has a 42 inch wheelbase which seems fairly long.

From this:



To this:



I wanna go all black, but the yellow is so eye catching, and local drivers are so... you know. Anyway, skinny summer tires means that I can fit a front derailleur, which means that I can run a bigger chainring. Which is great, since, come summer, the lack of ice and studded tires had me spinning out on the 42 tooth on several local downhills. Plus clicky-clicky indexed shifting (I know a lot of people disagree, but I really hate bar-end shifters on drop bars) and clipless pedals (not pictured) and I'm loving my very brief, very speedy commute. Which is great, as my slow whip, the day-glo cruiser, is busted (and no, I don't want to talk about it). :(



****in' A right. Sick ride, groovestew.
