So cold
need pics of bikes to make a decision
Get a beater mountain bike!
Beater fixed-gear brah.
Beater or winterize the fixed(framesaver, fenders, swap out anything nice to less nice solid stuff, etc)
Beater conversion. Fenders, knobbies, framesaver, galvanized chain. Cartridge bearings in hubs, BB, pedals, etc are a plus.
Both those bikes you mentioned sound too nice to junk up with everyday winter riding.
beater bike. just get a kilo tt for $350 and be done with it.
cyclocross bike!
or get a beater and invest in some knobbies. My call would be mountain bike, wheelies for miles.
unless you can find something decent for less, this isn’t a bad idea. wash all the grime off and resell it in the spring.
frame saver, fenders, wipe it down after riding. keep riding.
