absolutely love this bike, even while commuting in burlington throughout new england winter. its stiff, fast, and makes -15* morning commutes to class easier.
I'm assuming the roads there are probably well taken care of. Looks like you're running slicks? I wish I could ride in the winter here in Montana, but the government doesn't care about it's taxpayers here, let alone non-motorized modes of transportation.
Anyways, how do you get along in the winter? Ever run into icy/nasty conditions?
Edit: holy shit what is that chainring?
I just have some gp 5000s on that I had around from the summer. Our roads are actually not very well taken care of, so lots of fun skids in the snow and slipping around. I personally havent had too many issues here in the winter, and part of the reason i ride brakeless in the winter is so that I have 0 ability to ride fast or take any chances. But, I live on a university campus so my commute is short and relatively flat which reduces a lot of the challenges.
