I have to say, there are some awesome rides posted....I check this thread everyday just to see who has posted a new bike to checkout!

Here she is in al her glory...well almost, I still have some tweaking to perform.

I swapped out the cheap-o suspension fork for the Surly 1x1 fork. If your going full ridgid, Id highly recommend this fork!


The trunk......works really well, I cant even tell it's back there. I might leave this as-is for now, excpet get a new one thats a little cleaner and not as beat up lookin. The little bags will hold tools and spares.


Stickers! They add HP in motorsports.....maybe they will help me here??? Some SOLAS tape will be added as soon as I can get ahold of some.


With the recent dog incidents Ive encountered I got some Halt dog spray and the little clip thats holds it. I still need to add my lights and maybe a computer. Im also thinking about some Nashbar "Trekking bars" for a few more hand positions.


I did 20 miles on it today riding my future work route and back. It sucked getting there with the hill's and the constant headwind, I cut around 5 minutes on the return trip with the tail wind....plus there more hill's on the way to work, makes it easier on the way home!

If you guys/gals have any ides about what I could do better, by all means
