The Nashbar daytrekker bags, which I love and heartily endorse, kind of drape over this skinny rack, but it still works and stays on there just as well as a regular rack.

I"ll ride it for the first time to work tomorrow. I don't need fenders as I live in SoCal.

I'm looking forward to shaving off at least 3-5 minutes from commuting with the older Slobo Dixon. Soon, I'll sell the Dixon and just commute on this bad boy.

Next up? Business shoes with SPD clips?
You should go with SPD's indeed I've been riding with them for about 4 months now, and absolutely love it. Only con is that those cleats wear out pretty fast as I have to walk up a bridge each day, unfortunately there's no way around that
