I just did chain, cassette, bottom bracket bearings, chain rings, bar tape, and a tire on the Trek. Also a tire on the Cervelo. Now both are put away for the season. The Park Tools work stand came in very handy. I bought a nice selection of Park Tools special wrenches as well, for cassettes and bottom brackets.

I have been thinking that it would be worth having a nice city bike, something for commuting and the off season. I am imagining a steel frame, 700-28 or 32 tires, drop bars, an Alfine 11 speed IGH, a Gates carbon drive belt, Avid mechanic disk brakes, a Brooks saddle, full fenders, a rear rack, and a dynamo hub with lights. This would be an ultra-low maintance bike. The hub has just been released, 409% range, oil bath. The belt will restrict frame choices, as the frame needs a cutout to get the belt into the rear triangle. Not sure if I would have to build this up, or buy something close and change components as necessary.

Also reading about studded tires for bikes. Not sure I want to go that far though.
