Last week it was an ancient Cannondale Tourer frame with Mavic wheels and 28mm Vittoria tyres, full guards, rack and panniers. It had flat bars, XT thumbies, 7 speed mtb rear cassette and big road front double chainset.
This week I’m in between bikes while I swap to a new steed so I am on a 94 Stumpjumper with full slicks and 1×7 gearing with riser bars. My commute today was fun and I realised how dull road orientated bikes are with their efficient geometry. No hoofing it off kerbs with road or hybrid bikes…
Next week will be a flat barred Cotic Roadrat with mavic disc 700c wheels, deore disc brakes, rack, guards, XT rapidfire 2×8 with the 28mm Vittoria Rubinio tyres.
However, if this is an ideal world money no object commuter I have logic issues. If money was no object why would I be going to work?
