After my commuter bike was totaled by a truck (I came out pretty well) I thought "If I'm going to get smacked on the road I'd rather have it happen on a nice bike."
Plus, considering how many miles I put in on my commute, I might as well maximize the fun of riding.
I got a nice Ti frame.
What I wish I could have found was a similar bike with the rack designed into it from the start. Maybe the fenders too. I've seen some at NAHBS shows, but they were custom and crazy money.
Here's my commuter. I don't usually use the trailer, but I had boxes to mail.
