Here’s a bike that I recently built up that I have found to be a very comfortable (one reason: 700 x 35c tires) and reliable all-weather training machine. The drop bars look fat because I put some extra padding under the bar tape. The total weight is reasonable (but the bike won’t win any ultralight awards), and the overall cost was quite low. (And hopefully the fans of using CO2 cartridges for everything will forgive the great sin of have a frame pump on the bike… )
