Fenders in LA with me, too, at least on my commuter. The streets here are
always filled with run-off from the lawn sprinklers of the rich and
clueless, and who knows what else. I don't want that stuff splashing on my
feet and legs. Every once in a while, it rains here, and when it does the

A local mega miler here in ABQ "nine inches in the rare year we are

Blakely installed fenders on his Trek and kept them year 'round; he
found he crossed enough irrigation runoff puddles to make them worth
while. But then, at 10K
I'm fenders in LA as well!

There's no way these old bones would hunch over that TT bike, but you gotta
give the man credit for building such a wild steel bike, and winning races

Good points, Jim.
I think it's just our nature to try to put things in little boxes. If we
want to define a "city bike", all we can really do is list features that
might best serve a particular individual in a particular city. Would
you call a messenger's ratty old fixie NOT a city bike? He
It's not clear (to me, anyway), what criteria are used by the judges at NAHBS.
That best-of-show time-trial bike isn't my cup of tea, but it seems likely that
its builder demonstrated considerable skill in building it. There are a lot of
skilled artisans exhibiting at NAHBS, and I imagine pickin

This has become a very interesting thread. I'm surprised at how many
choose single speeds, fixies, or at least prefer simple drivetrains.
Me, I chose fixed simply because I love riding fixed -- I had the '03
Curt custom converted locally to a fixed drivetrain when I converted
it from 1X10 gofast to
Fenders in LA, too.

700c 32 to about 38' Lower trail with poteur style rack, Paul center pull or
mini-v brakes, single speed or 1x at most 6' Jitensha or similar bars, dyno hub

I just saw that thanks to Off the Beaten Path's link to Grant's very
good review of the Herse book. The following article, on city bikes
and the needless frou frou of many NAHB creations, is also very good
as are his ruminations on what makes up a good City Bike. I don't
