Well, my Rivendell is not a "beater." Yes, I ride it around and even commute on it when I feel like. However, it's not the bike I take out on the icy, salty roads of winter. Others do. In that case, the bike of choice (for this coming winter) will be a Surly.
Earlier this week, received a snide remark from a rider on a nice new steel Fuji that my Hillborne was a decent "commuting bike". Yup. Guess it is that, too.
