Jamis -- check out this article: http://www.bikecommuters.com/2008/01/14/just-ask-jack-quick-release-fenders/ It lets you have fenders when you need 'em, sleek aerodynamics when you don't. You can apply the same quick-release system for a rack, too (as long as you have mounting eyelets for both rack and fenders). Basket — YES!

It'd still be nice to add some fenders, too. I just got my “new” commuter up and running…. similar ‘look’ to your Redline, but it’s an old resurrected black Schwinn frame.

If I'm slow I can blame it on all the gear, if I keep pace with the pack it'll only demoralize all the gram-aphobes in the pack. I'll do it.

Problem is my commuter is also my weekend-warrior bike. I can't roll up to the group ride with fenders and a rack. My wife says it looks like "An old man's bike" with the rack on it already. So until I get another bike for the club ride, I may not be getting those fenders. Does that make me a total poser? I have been thinking about fenders for a while now.

I've never been a fan of drops...I have a pair in the garage but decided to pass on it. Lance's 925 has drops. I went wit the flat bar just because I wanted to keep the stem and bar matching.

The bike looks good with fenders. Why the flat bar, though? Aren't risers a bit more comfortable? I think the bike would look good with drops, too. Is it really silk, or is that just the model name?
