Another question. My commuting workhorse, so far, has been my trusty Holdsworth Mistral (the one on the left in the picture), with VO mudguards and rack.
It will of course bring me there and back everyday, but will it be a bit too heavy for it as I've set it up as a tourer more than commuter (also plan on adding front racks as well).
Will a lighter, stiffer frame really make a difference to my legs?
There's this lovely Serotta Atlanta which is lighter than the Holdsworth and stiffer, but still seems to be comfy enough on which I'd put a more modern groupset, with plastic mudguards and only a big saddle bag for clothings.
You guys reckon it'll make a difference? Consider i'd have to sell the F.Moser (the one on the right) to make space!
