The idea behind the comuto-x bike would be to have a work/winter trainer/path/pannier/mudguard bike.
Such an amazingly useful bike to own. A real 'go to' bike. Some front pannier bags mounted on the rear rack will give you lenty capacity, while being less bulky.
Why Ti - I can't think of a material I would rather have a bike made from especially as it would be the foul weather steed.
You'll spend a shit load of time on this bike. So get a sweet Ti frame if you can afford it. I would'nt go top end for components personally, as shite dies, when used in all weathers. But But just because a bike is practical doesnt mean it needs to be humble (IMHO etc.).
If you do take it for the odd off road jaunt. You'll find it great fun, and a lesson in why you should love the fat tyres on your MTBs ;)
