Re: [ST] Used ST or RS

Craig,

I commute every day on my bike in the summer, most days in the winter.  
Heated grips and hard, lockable luggage are wonderful options when riding in 
the Seattle rain.  Like Steve I went to a 18T front socket for better 
around-town rpm's.  The only problem that I have is that it's so reliable I 
treat it too much like a car, often going too long between checking my tire 
pressure and chain tension.

Aside from snow/ice on the road or having to haul a passenger, why wouldn't 
you want to commute on your ST?
