@Josh flat bars, 650b, big rack / basket going on this bike. CdF gets hydro drops, 700x35 and small rando rack.
I get two functional bikes, one lighter, faster and good for rando/touring rides; the other slower and heavier but much more functional.
@pish they're 29x2.2" aaaaaaaaaay to big for the frame you could probably just about fit 700x35c. Yes it's a 700c P2, just got mid blade eyelets added. I'll build it, ride it for a while, then think about painting it. For the moment I've protected the exposed areas with Jade oil. However there is dent in the TT and a rad Salsa sticker. I may just mask off the rear triangle and spray it black.

This is what I'm starting to think. Keep my CdF for touring and have a Genesis Equilibrium-esque style bike (32c without guards) for most weekend rides.
That's what I've done. Works pretty well over all to consolidate bikes for lack of space. I've got the 90's, fat tyre'd/rack/dynamo/all over tank.
The other bike is a shitty roubaix with 30c's, 1x and hydro drops.
Both bike's I really enjoy without being too precious about.
