The bike I've been commuting on most since July is a 2010 Raleigh Superbe Roadster. It's still completely unmodified aside from a rack, but it's going to get lights, new hammered steel fenders with matching chain guard, and a paint job in the next few months. (The paint job is really the worst thing about the bike. It's very thick but was essentially smearing off the bike in the Philly heat this summer. There are multiple bad gouges in the paint that are rusty already, and I haven't even had the bike six months.)



Still, it looks nice from a distance. Sometime this winter or early spring, it will be repainted a spring-y green.

My other commuter bikes are the Raleigh Twenty I share with phillyskyline and a 2006 Surly Steamroller. The Steamroller will likely get more use in the cold weather, when I'm more about getting to and from where I need to go and less about enjoying the ride and taking my time and being comfortable.



The Twenty is my leisure/really nice weather/backup commuter/grocery-getter bike. It's likely going to get more commuting miles on it in the coming months as long as the weather's good... and perhaps there will be another added to the stable... maybe.
