This will probably see some commuter miles. Just got it today and rode it a whole mile. Unfortunately it's raining and I don't want to baptize it. I have named it, Sunny Madison.

The new color in brown leather. I like it!

So nice.
Where in Detroit do you ride?

I live down town and ride all over. I am 6 years car free and I have not looked back at all and like the snow. I am the dorkey white guy on a bike so no one bothers me

very nice.
I have friends that go to Wayne State, so I am sometimes downtown during the school year..Detroit never seemed too bike friendly to me, but the roads sure are empty and wide.

is that a honey colored or brown colored brooks saddle and grip tape?

so when you say car free, you mean you never use a car?? if so I really admire you, i use my bike whenever its posible, but unfortunatly sometimes i have to use my car.

My latest purchase. Cheap C.Itoh. She will be my official junker and bad weather bike.
All my bikes have been craiglist purchases as I tried to find a good junker and they've all been worked up to nice decent bikes. This one is a good ride but I think she's the worse of the bunch.

No car at all! I sold it after paying for it to just sit in a lot until the battery died.

The saddle is a honey with some miles on it so it is a bit dark.

^ that is beautiful. I really like the way the green/brown of the bags works with the frame and brooks colors!

"This is my crosscheck. There are many like it but this one is mine. My crosscheck is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my crosscheck is useless. Without my crosscheck I am useless."

The blue bits is nice.

This is a great ride, I'm very impressed. Do you sell the bags? I'd love to know more anout them, they look great!

It's good to be that guy. Your LHT is probably one of the most tasteful I've seen. Did you paint the "lugs" yourself?

Hey thank you and yea, I sell them and if you click on my profile I have more pictures and info on them, ron.

THANKS! And yea, I painted them, lol.

mechanicalron, I always really like looking at your photos. Really, it's beautiful.

New fair weather commuter...

This is my current commuter set up for commuting with my panniers, lights and new seat. I love this bike.

Re: the plastic chainguards from the last page--I located a distributor for them via this page, but there's a large minimum order. (200 pieces?)


Sunny SW-771

djwid, does that bike have front wheel drive?! Can we see the other side of it, please?

I finally got my lowrider rack mounted. This was on the way back from work after loading up with groceries. Of course, it had to rain.

on a per day basis of 120 km, does your commute stay under 4hours? (impressive regardless of speed)
600 km per wk omg
