Hi Skuke,
I am interesterd in what you have to say. I would like to point out that I am getting a full-custom road bike set up for commuting. Now if it were to rain, just what would you reccommend that I do? Drive my car instead? I know what a difference fenders make in the rain and when going through puddles. I would also like to point out that Calfee makes a lot more than just fast racing bikes. If one were to want a full touring bike, Craig would gladly engineer the right bike for such a purpose.
It was suggested by my LBS that I get a rack primarily to carry my lock and he knows I want the bike to commute with and he knows the distance I will be traveling. I've tried alternatives, using a backpack to commute with. I would prefer the load be on the bike rather than on my back.
Remember, too, I'm not some young guy on a bike any more. I'm over 50 and I ride to stay fit and for pleasure. I don't race and don't intend to.
Does anyone else on this forum use their Calfee for commuting, and if so, how many miles, in what kind of weather and what would you reccommend?
