Re: commuting and touring on a Lightning Phantom

And lights. http://www.whistlingsphincter.com/Scrapbook.pdf  << A
large (broadband?)
.pdf file of my tour through Wisconsin where I met some true friends on my P-38.

The P-38 is still in service as one of my commute fleet at year 14.
Still a good ride. Worth the premium for the long term of service and
the joy of the ride. I have lots of other bikes, but I will call this
one my pure commuter: The lights go on when you start pedaling, The
panniers are well integrated into the aerodynamics of the bike, The
seat is comfortable, The ride is sustainable.

Sorry if this has drifted off of Phantom-centric. I've no experience
there, but my P-38 is a great ride, though there are better bikes for
touring on. It's a good balance though, if you want a bike that
commutes and tours. Some of those nicer bikes are so nice, bare, that
you can't really bear hanging stuff on them.
