My commuter bike is actually my favorite, maybe just because we spend so much time together, but her fit is also "just right". She is on her second headset, second cassette, third set of cables, 2nd idler pulley, 4th chain and I've lost track of how many brake pads. My favorite long week-end task is taking her brake arms off to clean the grit out, pulling her wheels off for a good scrub down, soaking the chain clean, polishing her frame, putting her back together, relubing everything so that the next workday she will ride like new. I did retire her from the worst of winter riding here in the Boston area. She gets to rest from Dec. to Mar. when I ride my MTB. Here's to my commuter bike, the best part of my work day.
