I have to work support for Chicago Bike the Drive tomorrow, ok in 4 hours. And, I cant deside what bike to take.

Options

1) Santa Cruz Superlite. Its comfortable enough to haul a bag all morning

2) .243sl with the seat jacked up. Even More comfortable, but a single speed.

3) Road bike. Fast enought to piss off Tri-dorks that think its a race


Or just pass out and grab a bike in a few hours.....

If the supa lite locks out, that maybe. If not, I'd just take the roadie.

.243 would be coolest. Don't jack the seat up either.

Go down to your local Goodwill, buy some dress pants, cut them off just below the knees into capris, then sew the legs a little bit tighter. Next toss on an old military cap, find an Indie band's t-shirt, put an unlit stoagie behind your ear, eat only fruit, and ride your FIXED GEAR in the Bike the Drive on the way to the coffee shop looking for acceptance.

Anyway, I'd go with the roadbike.

You forgot the Chrome bag or Timbuktwo. Oh and you have to hang out at Coffee houses and have piercings/tattoos...

Real messangers would never use either of those poser bags.
