Without mudguards and lights the Jan Janssen is not fully suitable for the current time of year. But for that I've the Scott XC commuter, which still has its original spec.
However the original wheels are quitte poor (heavy, low quality bearings) so I've been thinkering for a while what to do. Decided to go 650b and add disc brake tabs, but then last week I got two typical dutch city bikes for almost free, one with nice black 700c wheels including a hub dynamo. Lights where on the wishlist for this bike as well so one and one is two, I'm going to convert it to Nexus-8 hub gear, rollerbrakes and add some nice lights. The white hubs might be very anti but on the other hand they might match the white decals on the frame, we'll see.
