This months Cycling Plus carried an article on converting a racebike to a commuter.
If a racebike is supposed to be the dogs nads, why bother?
Can a racebike not handle a trip to work and back?
Some of it I could uderstand, like the suspension seatpost, or pedals with a cage on one side and SPD on the other (I use such a pair), but converting drop bars to flatbars....why?
We hear so much about the comfort of dropbars, the multiple hand positions...why change?
I suppose my point is, what makes a commuter and a racer so different for most people, since very little people on racers actually...race?
