Distinguishing features

Ultimate commuter. Has silver plastic PB Cascadia fenders, Avid BB7 disks, Nitto Albatross bars (yay) with SRAM grip shifters and Avid levers, Topeak DX Super Tourist rear rack (the one with extra low bar on the side) PB headlight (either a Beamer 5 or Blaze 2W depending on whether my wife gets to it before me or not). Front crank is 170mm Shimano 44-34-24 w/ Wellgo platform pedals, rear cluster is SRAM 11-34....thing goes up hills. Front derailleur is Shimano Soros (replacement), rear is SRAM X7. Cabling is mostly Jagwire black. Generic black alloy seatpost. Usually has a Topeak seat bag with too many tools, and may be carrying either a Topeak foldout bag or a pair of yellow Ortliebs. As of 2018, has a black Surly Disc Trucker fork to lower the front a bit and add some trail.
