Oooh, lovely. Congrats, Pardes, with a dedicated winter bike!
I hear you on the analysis paralysis, the main reason I spend so much money replacing components on my 2 old bikes is that I just can't stand the thought of going out there to find a new one instead., which would of course have to be "perfect"...
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
