My daily commuter, a Bianchi Sika which I got for a song.
I have to ride 1 mile is over a very muddy road, hence the extended mud guard
A mix of LX and XT components and all the screws I could change are stainless to survive the salty roads. I have changed the rear derailleur, cantis and brake levers since the pic and added Kool stop pads
And my homebrew winter front wheel, worked perfect in this winter's snow
Currently looking for a lighter frame, something out of Reynolds 853 maybe to switch over the components. This one weighs 30 lbs all dressed up

BLB cranks.
Surly front blade.

Cannondale CODA grips from same period ( not very comfy to be honest )
Front fork made stiff.
Bye bye,
Daniel.
