Not exactly my commuter, but my grocery beater - a 1999 Gary Fisher Tassajara.
Traded a local fellow a rear wheel and seatpost for his Vertical dual-boinger MTB (Target) for the Fisher frameset w/front wheel.
The bike has been a disaster to get back up and running, as the drivetrain had been chewed up, for lack of a better term (I am still looking for a replacement RD and crankset - the RD is bent, the chainwheel teeth brutally worn and bent), but it is coming along so far.
These are progress photos from tonight. Just finished mounting the North Road handlebar and extending the brake cables. The mounting position of the shifters was unfortunately, nessesary, due to the gear indicator window interfering with the bend of the handlebar in the straight section.
Won't look much different when completed, save for the addition of a 460mm, 27.2 seatpost (anyone have one?), the replacement drivetrain components, and a matching Bonterager 26X1.25 skinwall slick up front.
Take care,
-Kurt
