The bike I ride everyday. My old commuter was a CCM Elan (best bike ever). It was fast and solid as a tank. After four years of pure fun with it, I woke up one morning only to find out that the snowplow had kill my bike. I took all the parts off and the only thing I had left was the frame. It has been sitting in my appartement for over a year before I build this fixed out of it, the geometry of the frame is surprisingly good with 700c wheels and fork. I gather some cheap components for that one. Every bearing is sealed, lots of alu parts, 10 ply clearcoat over the frame; this bike can ride in mud and in snow sans problème.
