Cephas:
I'll start things off with my Nomad. Not a great photo, but it was too cold tonight to mess about for very long. Let's see what you've got folks.

Sweet ride!! I can see the pic fine, no problems with it.
What kind of tires are you using for winter??

Thanks.
My winter tires are 1.9" Continental Town&Country's, the chunkiest tires that I could fit without having to mess around much with the fender(mudguard) set up. (Most of the year I run 1.25" - 1.5" road tires.) http://tinyurl.com/ebom
I used the T&Cs on my old bike a couple years ago when touring SE Utah and found them a good compromise for the mix of highway and jeep trails I encountered, performing well in everything but deep sand. One problem: The T&Cs were susceptible to punctures from goathead thorns that would wedge themselves into the recessed treads. Next time I'll use tire liners and/or thorn-proof tubes.
Here's the old bike, a 1985 Schwinn Sierra, that served as a test bed for most of the kit on the Nomad.

Nice pic!! That's one beefy-a$$ed seat tube... didn't know that you're an amputee. ;-)
