Yes, the Urban-X comes with fenders, rack, chain guard ring, Brooks knock off seat (not leather), CroMo frame, machined rims, etc. It's the best deal I have come across for a commuter bike.
The cup holder.. got it at Targed for very little $ This morning I was rushing to get to work and going down a street that I thought I was familiar with all the bumps on. It was really sunny at 8 AM and I had forgotten to bring my RX sunglasses home from work so was wearing clear RX glasses and having a hard time seeing. I hit a big patched spot at about 30mph and it gave me a big jolt, enough to throw my beloved oxo thermos completely out of the cup holder and clanging down the street. I stopped and went back and retrieved it to find only some scratches to the stainless steel and some abrasions to the black plastic top where you drink. At work I was able to sand down the rough plastic scars and it was fine.

These are all really good looking bikes, enjoying seeing what everyone has and any comments about them.

I bought an insulated coffee mug from REI . The following morning I filled it with coffee and put it in my waterbottle cage. It fell out on a steep bumpy downhill and was ruined.

It happened a while ago. I was just relating to Doane's tale of dropped coffee mug.
I have a problem with throwing stuff out and that broken mug was around here for a while, but it seems I did throw it away.
It would still hold coffee, but the outer part was busted, a rubber O-ring protuded from the wound. I threw it away because I have other plastic coffee mugs with lids. The insulation (trapped air or perhaps a vacuum) ruined, it was ugly and the inner part held less coffee than an uninsulated mug with the same exterior dimensions.

Banged up but hot and doesn't leak.
Hmmm... that sounds odd.. anyway.. Not to bad for bouncing down a paved street from about 30 mph! I sanded down the rough spots on the plastic and have been using it for several days.. still doesn't loose one drop when clicked close.

This is what I have been riding this year. I am hoping to move to a cyclo-cross sometime in the next year or so. But this Trek has been very good to me so far..

This is mine on a ride a couple of months ago with The Historian. Currently, its being gutted and parts are going to be used on my Raleigh Kodiak. I love the fit, but it really is a harsh ride.

Here is mine that I just got..... It's a Marin Kentfield FS. I'll have to get all the goodies to put on it like a rack, and trunk and maybey some panniers. I don't know much about hybrids, but it seems to ride really nice. I'll have to get some better pics when it's in it's element.

Giant Rapid 3! Just picked it up two days ago and have a whole 4 miles on it. I apologize for the poor picture quality; taken on an iphone without flash in a building garage.

I've been wondering what I can do to change my Cannondale since yesterday and today got this saddle. It's raining now so I can't put it on ... hopefully tomorrow morning it'll clear. (my Cannondale lives outside)
I have a sneaking suspicion it's going to hurt my arse something fierce.

Are you serious about your bike "living outside"?
Aren't you afraid it will be damaged by rain or frost or people or even stolen?
At worst I leave my bike locked outside in the day in a crowdy place for a few hours.
