IMHO winter bikes mean twice the faf.
It shouldn't, if you build it up right, it can last the whole winter with miminal maintenance.
Full length steel mudguards with flap, 8 speed trainmission, koolstop salmon/swissstop BXP, big tyres etc. can go a long way compared to running a road bike with filmsy Crud Roadracer with a 105 11 speed drivetrain.

Koolstop salmon? Winter bike's gotta have discs, surely?

You've seen my spec then! I tore off my crud r/r's after hours of messing yeserday, i suspect another culprit to why the bike felt so out of sorts.
Being on a tight budget with limited space i guess it comes down to what suits better, fixed and road bike or fixed and winter bike. Right now fixed only with a sealed B/B is winnning...

Why steel mudguards?
Whats wrong with plastic or even aluminium?

IMHO winter bikes mean twice the faf, plus, 1 bike riding through winter = more reasons to constantly buy new shiny bits for it when the salt craps out the bearings - although a little trick of using engine grease to cover almost all moving parts usually stops this problem....
