Nice bike. Where are you?

I think we all here are happy enough to see bikes that the photographic quality doesn't matter. We just need another fix.

I bet we would all love professional photos of or bikes with nice backdrops, lighting, fresh washing. Just like mom makes the family do every Christmas.

Thanks! I'm in Columbus, Ohio. Last spring I traded an old mongoose for the Torker (hence the creative user name) and I've been hooked on commuting ever since.

I wasn't brave enough to ride yesterday or today.

You know, when I went in '09, I we parked somewhere way out of the way and took the subway down towards the Intrepid; I never saw the parking lot.

Thanks, they are the SKS P35 Longboards. No complaints as far as the weight and functionality of the fenders; they do the job and do it well.

Sorry, still doesn't look commutery. I've been saying I'll put a rack on since I got it, but I've been somewhat content with backpack commuting on my short commute, and since living with the gf most of the shopping is done at costco so I haven't had need for much more cargo. Still prefer a rear rack over a pack, though... It's just so pretty (to me) right now.

I'm doing the same right now. I have a seat pouch for pleasure rides, and use a really lightweight backpack for commuting to work and the gym. With how light it is I really don't mind it for shorter rides.

I like the Torker Graduate, but what brakes do you have? Is that a front roller/rear coaster? I don't see anything else... also, what gearing are you running?

Thank you! The bike comes standard with 70mm drums front and rear. Right now I'm running the standard gearing, 42 x 16. As it sits with studded tires, rack, and bags it weighs 37.5 pounds.

Sadly, they do not sell the Graduate that way anymore.
