I have already built the perfect commuter and have been using it for two years. I commute from Fairfax, CA to San Francisco and use the following:

Surly Cross check fixed gear (two speed)
42 and 38 chainrings with a Surly Dingle cog 17 X 21

Steel Surly fork. Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700 x 32 tires.

Use your fingers to move the chain for tough hill climbs no need to adjust the tension of the chain

Light and Motion Stella 200 and a blinky for the back along with reflective triangles on my panniers.

Planet Bike Acadia (sp?) fenders.
Tektro Road V Brake Levers and any shimano v brake you find cheap on the net.

Two pannier so you don’t get a sweaty back

The whole rig cost me less than $800 using ebay for frame, fork and cranks. Web for everything else. I have a Pletshcer rear rack that cost me $20.

I end my ride every evening with an 800 ft climb to my house so don’t tell me a fixed gear bike is not practical.

ac – Thanks. I’m trying to build folding handlebars something like a design I found on the web. Rather than folding, my handlebars will rotate 60 degrees to move them out of the way when entering buildings or riding on elevators. So far they work but look like something out of the junk yard. Well, back the drawing board.

Gene – regarding your handlebars-in-the-office problem: Have you considered a folding bike? They usually result in a smaller, narrower package that’s easier to get through office hallways.
