Bikes: '06 Surly Pugsley, '14 Surly Straggler, '88 Kuwahara Xtracycle, '10 Motobecane Outcast 29er, '?? Surly Cross Check (wife's), '00 Trek 4500 (wife's), '12 Windsor Oxford 3-speed (dogs')

1. What make/model is your bike? Frankenbiked 2010 Motobecane Outcast 29

2. How long have you had it? The frame, fork, rear wheel, IGH, shifter, and rear rack are about a month old. The rest of the bike varies from several months to 3 years old.

3. Where did you purchase it? For all of the new parts, the internet. The older bits are a mix of mail order and local bike shops.

4. What accessories have you added to it? Rear rack and panniers, lights, fenders, mirror, bell, saddlebag repair kit, 'cross brake levers, seasonal tires, and locks.

5. What accessories do you WANT to add to it? A dynohub.

6. What type of bike do you eventually want to purchase as your primary commuter? Actually, I'm pretty close to having my ultimate commuter bike (IGH, fat tires, racks and fenders, upright handlebars [with a secondary riding position]). Just need a dynohub, and maybe a front rack for some light touring, and I'll be done with the bike. Then it'll be time to move my serial upgrading habit to my trail bike, or to my cyclocross bike.
