Independent Fabrication icon Jamie Medieros has the longest commute of anyone at IF and logs some serious miles. His weapon of choice for year round urban/suburban commuting: The Brown Bird, a most beastly workhorse. He prefers to not wear a bag but instead attaches all of his stuff to his bike, as you can see.

that thing is sweet. how long is his commute? what size are the wheels? kind of hard to tell. almost looks like a 650b.
Jamie's commute is 12 miles each way and his wheels are 26 inch.
What bars are those?
I made them myself out of 0.045 titanium. They are based on some old nitto bars I like but cannot find any more.
I commute 10 miles (20 round trip) and I can imagine that my bike will garnish this type of "patina" over time. My panniers are definitely showing the wear from the 2 or so miles on gravel towards my work place.
