I don't think my riding is slower when riding with fenders you could
probably measure it and you would probably be infinitesimally slower.
The benefits of having fenders would certainly outweigh any slight
drop in speed I'm sure. I don't usually transport my bike and have

How about natural cork? I had a sage green all-rounder that had that combo and

One idea - take a Paul Gino mount for the front fork and install the
computer there. Could use a wireless and make it look really clean.
That way, you'd have the info, but not be distracted by it. (Probably
not original with me. Bet there is a photo of that setup with a
"knob" mount.)

I have Thick & Zesty green camo on one of my bikes. Really like it,
but it does feel different. Looking at the Soma site, would think the
cork Aqua would look like a nice contrast with the frame.
Sneaking suspicion the Rose Pink color would look somewhat garish/cool
with the green. As in, I'd do

Yes, the lucky owner is definitely on the "performance" end of the
commuting spectrum. Along with the usual casual rides, the bike will
see duty as a means for daily vigorous exercise, i.e. fast commuting.
