Before and after photos of my new winter commuter.

• Brand new rear & new (used) front 700c wheels
• New knobby tires
• New chain
• New freewheel
• New (used) crank set
• New (used) pedals
• New (used) rear brakes
• New fenders
• New reflective tape

Thanks to the folks at Sunrise Cyclery for putting it all together for me as well as winter biking advice. One bit of winter biking Zen they shared while discussing ice:

Don’t think about staying on the bike. Think about keeping the bike underneath you.

Think about it.
