Here's my Houston commuter- I ride consistently, but not too far. Never know where my next meeting will be, so I have to carry around the lock. It's a '79 schwinn super le tour II with a front wheel from a '75 schwinn, harris cycleries' cheapest on the back and a wright leather saddle. I volunteer at a local bike coop, and am slowly upgrading (rolling on 27's, found a mavic MA-2 and a campy front hub- that's next). Removed the decals with just a touch of acetone- I'm looking for the right sticker/decals now.
