Axiom LaSalle. 40 liters (20 each side) of gear-hauling awesomeness that gets out of the way and into the slipstream behind your legs when you tighten the straps up.

The only complaint I had was that the straps hang all over the place when you cinch them down. I fixed that with a few rubber bands made from an old 25mm road bike innertube:

They've changed the DB Outlook a LOT since 1998 (which is what I use as a commuter right now). That looks similar, actually, to my 1999 DB Sorrento, what with the suspension fork and all.

Looks good!

SpokePOV For the mf'ing win!

Actually, that's MonkeyLectric, but thanks!

I knew it was something nerdy that I'd seen on Make or Hack-A-Day. I actually knew it wasn't the "official/original" SpokePOV kit but couldn't pull it up in my memory banks. Still recovering from a brutal weekend.

Oh... I can has action pics plz? Is it bright enough for a POV effect below 20 MPH?

I like! Truely a classic! :love:

Thanks...its an '03.

It may not be much, but she's my commuter...and my only bike, for now. :D

I just put some Continental Travel Contact tires and some Deore CR-18 wheels on it...hopefully a speedier smoother ride...and they DO make it look so much prettier if you ask me.

Just cruise with my Giant Rincon, That was a nice bike there with a generator light?

Niiiice! How are you diggin' that 9-speed SRAM hub??

Very cool. I just ran across a 64 Royal at a thrift/antique shop that is very similar. Same profile on the fenders but this bike has painted fenders. Both of came out of the Raleigh factory's is what I have read. The royal I found is not nearly as nice as yours......not even close but its complete and looks like it could be made to be fully functional.

So my single commuter bike has now morphed into two.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...k/univega6.jpg
A 1986 Univega Arrow Pace equiped with a bell, fenders, brooks b-17 and all the usual commuter stuff. Original Biopace crank, 7 speed shimano drivetrain and araya 27 inch wheels. The thing must weigh an easy 35 pounds before I put a rack on it but this bike is my workhorse.

Just finished building this one. Cannondale System Six! Zoom Zoom fast and impractical. :love:

Sweet Hercules.

Needs new bar tape. other than that it's held up well. i may put a new shifting group on it one day soon(8 sp. to 10 sp.), should i find the money.

Just added rack and fenders to my bike, and added rack, basket and grocery bags to my wife's bike. I've been commuting by bike as much as weather allows and my wife has been using her bike to run errands. These additions will make those tasks much easier!

Nice fenders. SKS Commuters?

They are indeed. Ordered them from Nashbar and they went on easily. Looking forward to trying them out.

That is the simplest bike setup I have ever seen. What does it weigh - 10 lbs?

About 21 lbs, being an old Schwinn and 63cm.

just started commuting a few days ago. have had my scott s10 road bike for quite a while and seriously thought about getting a mtb for commuting, but there isn't enough room in my apartment for another bike.

so for now this is how i roll to work and school....

scott speedster s10, ultegra 10 speed, shimano compact crank, speedplay petals, mavic open pro wheels (also have neuvation wheels but its just too damn hard to get tire seated onto rim for flat repair so im probably gonna get rid of them), garmin 305, 2x superflash on rear, and dinotte 200l li on the front. probably not the most practical bike to commute on, but sure is fun. need to take a better pic though

Nice ride there Gaber X. It looks like a good commuting setup, and I'd advise against getting an mtb for commuting. Unless you regularly need to go down stairs and jump curbs, that is. Otherwise you'll miss the Scott's gearing.

However, if you did want a designated commuter bike, something of lesser value than the road bike, I'd say something like a flat-bar road bike... a Trek 7.5/ Scott P4 type bike would be nice. You'd get the speed of a road bike but have room for larger tires, fenders, and it would be less expensive.

PS: about having room for another bike... get one of those vertical bike stands and you'd have room for two. They stack 2 bikes in the footprint of one.

I HAVE THAT SAME BIKE! except its called a columbian tourist.(and its only got 2 gears, haha 1 and 2 are the same)
