[Steely Dan]

i suppose i should cross post some pics of my new commuter over in this thread too.

2011 Scott Sub 10 Men






8-spd alfine IGH, hydraulic disc brakes, & clearance for wide tires. this thing is gonna make one hell of a winter beast.

Is this the Raleigh's replacement?

I recently put together (am still putting together...) this commuter/weekend ride bike. I commute around 20 miles round trip each day.

Did you get the frame from Nashbar? Either way I like it.

[Steely Dan]

Is this the Raleigh's replacement?

yep. the old raleigh worked ok as a back-up/winter commuter, but seeing as how i had to replace it after the bus accident, i figured i might as well get what i really wanted for winter duty, which was disc brakes and an IGH.

[Fizzaly]

I like it, I even like the bright orange color, I also like how the fork crown goes right into the headset makes it look clean.

Thanks! I did get it from Nashbar. I was able to apply a promotion that brought the price to about $250. There were a few minor hiccups but it was definitely worth getting. I like it.

I'm a daily commuter in Barcelona (Spain) and I have a 2nd hand Francesco Moser 14 speed racing bike. I installed a smaller steering wheel for navigating between cars and busses. It's a very nice and fast bike

Gumwalls on black bikes is always a classy look.

0717201142m0.jpg My bike. Kona Dew with some additions to make the commute a little more tolerable. 12 and a half miles downhill into work and a 12 and a half mile climb with a 1600 ft elevation change going home. Blind curves, narrow lanes, and fast traffic. Its exciting at times.

[Simrat]

I rode to my new job for the first time Friday. There are no racks or anywhere to lock up my bike, so I hauled it up the stairs to my office.

Bought new in 1979 - Fuji 12 speed. I have a replacement Brooks saddle coming and will likely put drop bars back on as well.

It started its life as a hi-ten Puch cavalier, and it's grown up quite a bit since then. My backpack holds everything I need to get to work, and I don't like riding in rain, so no racks or fenders at the moment. My lens fogged over the second I pulled out the camera. The photo's kind of creepy.

Sweet bike! That chain appears to be slightly lose though and I would highly recommend fenders for it if you plan on commuting in the winter.

[Steely Dan]

^ yeah, I noticed the slack chain too, but I don't know how to adjust the eccentric bottom bracket. I loosened the bolts on the bottom, but couldn't get the mechanism to turn. I probably need some special tool I don't have. In any event, the bike is do for it's free tune-up at REI so they'll hopefully take care of that.

I'm still looking for good fenders at a good price, but I still got some time to sort that out.

Looks like a sweet work ride, but if that's your war ride then you're gonna lose:



Unless you've got something stashed away in those panniers that you wouldn't want the ATF to know about.

My re-integrated vintage FrankenCilo commuter, on her maiden voyage today:

[noglider]

Forgive me if I've posted this before. I can't remember anything these days.

This is my 1962 Rudge 3-speed. I ride it daily to do errands, visit clients, etc. It's mostly original, including the saddle. I replaced the 18T sprocket with a 22T sprocket, lowering the gears. Very nice.



More pictures here.

What a great old bike. Like an old friend.

My ever-evolving commuter:



Looks better with fenders IMO. Too bad PB's "unbreakable" fenders actually break.
