I'm glad I don't have a digital camera at the moment. I'd take a pic of my bike thinking it was all pretty and then I look at JoeyBike, Vik, MechanicalRon, and others and realize I got a ways to go. I really like the different interpretations you guys have done with your bike to suit your purposes .

Schweet! I just got a Cross-Check, and I love the way the Metal Cowboy wrapped his bars. My CC came complete with the shifter cables exiting the bars below the brake levers. Can I re-wrap my bars your way, or will I likely need longer cables? Hmmm. Looking at it now, I think longer cables might be a necessity.
Thumbs up on the LHT! I love the look; gorgeous!

Speaking of which, take gander at the new model Novara Randonee:

Look kind of familiar?

Unloaded with racks/fenders as you see here it is around 35lbs. I have to say it has been the greatest bike purchase I have made (owned since Jan. 09 only):
