My new commuter: 2010 Specialized Secteur (all fredified)

Basic Side shot. Notice the homemade bucket panniers painted black with plastic paint and reflector tape added. You can also notice the trail-a-bike hitch on the seatpost. Reflective tape is a stealth job. You can't really see the tape during the day and there is no overlap with any non-black area on the bike. The bucket pannier shows well the difference in reflectivity between white and black tape. The bottle in the cage is actually a trek toolkit.


Basic front shot:


Cockpit shot. From left to right: mirrcycle STI mirror, Sora shifters, Magicshine headlight, magicshine battery (on stem), Sigma Wired computer. On headpost is a garage remote in a cell phone case. Ready for pickup at REI is an incredibell STI (on sale at REI outlet for $4)


Shot of garage remote. You can really see the care I did on the tape job. Note the carve-out for "sport" on the logo. The black reflective tape really glows brown in the flash.


Trunk shot. Homemade bucket panniers, Topeak rack, radbot 1000.


Shot of homemade reacharound brackets for fenders. If you are curious how I bolted the brakes back on through the bracket, I drilled an access hole through them for the hex wrench.


Shot of front fender racharound bracket. The front fender cantilevers out and shakes a bit, but works well.


Bottom shot. Campus pedals, rear triangle kick stand, trek water bottle toolkit, Relfective tape.
