I don't like the angle of the brake levers, and the angle of the headlight seems off too. The saddle is too chunky and the narrow spot in the seatpost looks worrisome. And are those Biopace rings? I can't abide Biopace rings.
Otherwise, yeah, pretty hot. Biopace works well at lower RPM, and my girl is NOT a spinner. I think she's usually around 50-60. |

http://www.headbadges.com/ does she do custom ones? like if you give her a design? EDIT: nevermind, i found the custom ones. |
Absolutely she does - all of mine have been custom requests. She also has some standards she does (I think cheaper than her custom).
:lol: @ the missile! I thought it was a cool touch for the missing plug, and it's definitely the only Cinelli Grammo stem with De Rosa panto. |

One bottle is enough for commuting, so you get no pass here for extra functionality. ;)

It's that time of year where I get excited for winter, so even though I won't need it for 2-3 more months I got out my winter commuter and cleaned her up. Yea, the seat's not adjusted, the tail light's still bent from flipping it over, I didn't bother re-clipping the brakes, and the rear tire might be flat... otherwise, wha'dyall think?

You sure know how to sell your photo!
Speaking of which, the headlight is hidden on the left side of the fork so I can hang my handlebar bag! |

After dissing other's bikes, I figure it is my turn to be on the receiving end. Also, this thread is slipping off the front page. So without further ado, I present, in the most appropriate place for a commuter, my Sirrus:
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-l...800/IMG562.jpg For extra bonus points, I left indicators of the last time my son spent the day in my office :) -1 for non-wireless speedometer (with cable wrapped around front brake cable) -1 for drab background -1 for tire label not aligned with valve stem -1 for lack of essential commuter gear such as fenders and lights +1 for Topeak quick-release trunk with fold out paniers (full disclosure: I have the same trunk) |

Tough crowd.:lol:
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...ji/Fuji009.jpg Details here. I would have taken the crotch bag off but the velcro tabs go under the cables and it's a royal pain to get off and on. It carries wallet, keys, reading glasses and repair kit (pronounced "Phone"!!). The white stripe is reflective so I file it under "Safety Items" and, therefore, deem it legal. |
The biggest problem here, I think, is the busy background. The bike could be hot, but it's hard to be sure. |

Okay, here is my daily commute ride.
http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/y...psb3fa8436.jpg 1982 Peugeot PSV. Crank is the original drilled Stronglight and the shifters are the original Simplex on Retroshift levers, seatpost and stem/bars are original as well. Derailleurs, brakes, hubs, rims have all been changed to Mavic. I built the wheels on Open Pro rims, they are 32/36 3 cross and have stayed true with daily city riding. Fenders are PDW Full Metal Fenders. Lights: Niterider headlight, Trac bar-end lights, blinkies on bar and bag, Serfas on seatstay. I also have lights on my helmet and backpack; I don't use them all at once but it is nice to be visible, it is so dark nowadays. |

Somebody's gonna ding you a few points for the angle of the saddlebag and the untidy velcro strap on the battery pack, might as well be me. ;) |
That is just a bit of extra bar tape, stuck on the seatstay to protect it where I lean the bike to lock it up . The bars need re wrapping, it's been a year and the ramps are looking pretty ratty.
The battery pack bugs me, more than just the loose strap, I wish it were inside the saddlebag but the cable isn't long enough. I may buy a Knog Blinder Road soon, as it is more compact and tidy. The Niterider mini newt is not that bright, I doubt the Knog would be much dimmer. As for the saddlebag, unfortunately the Bagman support only comes in one size so the small Carradice sits at that droopy angle. |
