I roide both my CCM's on the commute today...
The 1933 took me to work... it is getting stripped down for a repaint and I am re-building the wheels. http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/bikepics/1933CCMnew1.jpg The 1940 took me home... http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/bikepics/ccmpath4.jpg |

The '33 (Rambler) should have a wine / burgundy frame with white fenders, a white chain guard, and burgundy wheels with white pinstripes... I am getting all the chrome on the stem and bars re-plated too.
It's a beautiful riding bike and is mechanically perfect and now needs to look as good as it rides. The '40 was nothing but a scruffy green frame when I found it and is built with a hodge podge of recycled parts... I put the new wheels on this morning after lacing the old hub into a 27 by 1 1/4 hoop last night. |

Here's my commuter. It started out as a mtb then I just went a little overboard with xt parts. I have since this picture put a Brooks b-17 on and a topeak mtx seatpost rack and bag. I also switched to back to xc717 xt hub rims. I guess it's time for a new pic.

Nice bikes classic. Must be quite exciting tobe able to take down and put back together.
My painter came by the shop today and is very excited to be working on the '33... he also loves old bikes. |
I picked up my new Jamis Aurora from Hollywood Pro Bicycles today. I haven't ridden it much, but from what little I have, I can tell i'm going to like this bike. (especially compared to my Huffy)

Bianchi Project-3
I don't commute regularly, but here's my "commuter" and errand-runner:
http://www.brilliantmedia.com/cyc/93Project-3.jpg This is one of the early 29ers with a lugged steel frame. Just put on new rims (nothing special; old ones were wearing through on braking surfaces) and switched from 700x45 Maxxis knobbies, which the bike came with, to 700x28 Conti touring tires. Also recently put on new shifters, brake levers and cables - I've had the bike since new and they finally wore out. Latest addition: Shimano A530 pedals, which are SPD on one side and good, concave platform frame on the other. Upgrading the saddle next.... I have Novara panniers (similar to Ortliebs, with roll tops and waterproof material); handlebar bag got stolen years ago and never have replaced it. I have a road bike I ride into the city sometimes as well - great way to go for commuting when I know I won't be locking it up outside - just going from home to office/meeting and directly back. |

Picked this bike up over the weekend, will now be my daily commuter bike starting Monday. 1992 Cannondale Touring 600.

^ Sweet bike, but needs hoods. Other than that it's pretty much amazing!

Here's my daily commuter:
http://i37.tinypic.com/o8ussg.jpg It's a lot of fun to ride, so far. I've had it for a couple of weeks and have already put about 100 miles on it, and I have to say that I love it. Going to have to get brighter lights for when winter rolls around, but the ones i've got on it now work as a pretty good supplement to whatever light is already available when I usually get off work. |
elad63, here's my 1985 cannondale touring 600.
http://a547.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...25e277ff32.jpg http://a481.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...4ace60bb80.jpg and the only original part still on the bike... http://a694.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...770fb2e6a5.jpg she's a great bike... has handle everything i've thrown at here so far. gets to work.. to the watering holes.. and anywhere else i want to go. she doesn't jump too bad either :D |
Great looking bike jerseybmx, your paint looks to be in better shape then mine. I haven't decided what size tires to put on it yet. I have 23 to 38's I can put on it. I need to get new brake hood covers and new wrap also. I may go to barcon shifters also.

Here is my commuter. The black box in the back is the battery pack for my 2X 20watt halogen track lights. I am in the process of converting an old rigid mtb to my next commuter bike.

Here's my 1991 Schwinn Cross-Fit in its original Labrador Blue finish. It's is my 3-4 day a work-week commuter. Why burn gas when i can burn calories, right?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...theschwinn.jpg I want to swap out the flat bars for some drops. Riding upright is uncomfortable for me sometimes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Hello everyone. Long time lurker at this forum. Started commuting back at the beginning of the year. Initially on my Langster, now on this. I love the One Way. :thumb:
