My commuter. Bridgestone MB-0, old RockShox fork, puncture-resistant commuter tires, fenders, rack, tools and tube in seatbag, Nightsun dual headlights, blinky LED headlight and taillight, I have an LED headlamp on the helmet too and going to add an LED taillight on the lid as well as more reflective tape, since my ride in takes place in darkness now. Bike weighs about 24 lb stripped but maybe 35 lb as-is? Foam pipe insulation to reduce dings. Gearing is not ideal for commutting as I never get out of the big ring. Still planning to get a real road bike.

Some workhorse bikes in a city where bicycles are a major mode of transport

Had both my classic custom built Colnago road bike AND tricked out carbon fiber Kestral mountain bike stolen. Pissed me off so much I've given up on all the high zoot and now only ride 'low riders'... as in low price.
For the last couple of years, I've considered this as my utility bike. Purchased used for $25.00. A folding bike, re-arranged and customized components to fit me or others who might need to borrow it at the track. It has a German color theme going on to match my 911. Folds to the size of a suitcase, including the pedals, frame, handlebar post and sometimes taken on the train.

LOL - I doubt the company would put their name on it! 20" wheels. Bike fits up to a 6' 3" rider. After I remove the seat post, it folds nicely and fits in the back of the 911. You should see the looks from kids. I have a carpenters tool bag with handle made by Nichols that stradles both sides of the rack perfectly. Just a great utility bike that works well for me.
