my ride cooling off in the office. Trek 4300 switched to road tires, with some small panniers and a trunk bag. Fits everything I need for my work day.

My single speed commuter. A 70's something Bridgestone Kabuki. Rides like a dream!
I have since replaced the panniers with ones that accommodate my laptop, so no longer have the backpack to hassle with.

Did some modifications to my newest ride.
Replaced the steel bars with Forte Aluminum Bars with Celtic Grips, added a front fender, a pump, bar-ends, a rack, a basket from the container store, a seatpost lock and wheel-locks front and rear.
I plan on adding a cyclometer as well.

Very sharp! Why don't you just get a real rack though?

I love my 20km commute to work. I ride a Trek 1000 with fenders, a rack, and SpeedPlay lite action pedals. Love it. Follow the link to pics of my bike and snap en route.

Agree with you on the balance. I just think ZZtop would commision more of the Electra cruiser/xtracycle combo.

Fuji S-12S bought at the police auction for $35. This is my main commuter for my 20 mile RT commute, and is my backup winter road bike. I've added fenders and a rear rack, changed the saddle, and have switched out the pedals for Speedplays. I need to submit a new pic/pics.

Hybridzilla changed places with my Trek 1200 as my primary commuter earlier this month when the roadie started having problems with the rear wheel.
Taken at about 35 MPH down a long hill (note the lack of spokes haha)

Here's mine (finally).
It's a Pointer Alu, and has a Shimano internal hub gearing system.
Picture's taken in the back yard, I know I should take out the weed... Got the pic taken right after fixing my rear tube.

FreddyV: Is Pointer a local brand?
Here are some photos of the new Jamis Aurora, taken along our local MUP which I use for commuting once in awhile.
