I finally got my bicycle back. I had a buddy of mine give it a custom paint job. I had it painted in Danica Patrick's 2008 IndyCar paint scheme. It turned out awesome! Pictures dont do it justice. Im gonna take it to the races.

janneppi, I assume you don't carry water in your water bottle. Something with a slightly lower freezing point perhaps?

Maybe, altough I don't know how much lower the freezing point of blackcurrant juice is. :p :

20 degrees, I thought everyone knew about the warming qualities of blackcurrant juice, that's why my Mum used to make me drink it when I had a cold ;) :p :

No, the bike was a lime green color before I had it painted.

Looks like intermediate ;)

Intermediates indeed, Vittoria Randonneurs, 25mm width, widest that fit inside the fork and rear tubes, no protruding knobs in threads, just 2mm wide grooves, studs aren't even an option.
No need to worry about grip in braking as their isn't any braking power since there is a bit of ice between brake pads and rims before you try to brake.

Perfect for Finnish winter. :D

They dont make that type of bike with a black frame.
