Getting my Portland ready for the winter:

New chain, new cabling, new paint job, everything has been re-packed with fresh grease, and hopefully new seat (this one is awful, but it was a freebie after my last one was stolen).

But you can get Delta Ergo bars which are quite similar

07 Trek 7.2fx. I got it in early summer 2008 and picked it up for around 250-300 brand new since it was last year's model. I recently did the 2009 AEBT on it.

I ride my old tri bike to school and tutor.

Here is my addition:

This used to me my road bike. She served me very well and helped me lose 130 pounds. As a reward, I got a new race bike and am starting to turn this one into a full commuter. So far it is very comfortable. Last night was my first commute without a backpack on and it was glorious. I need to replace her shoes with something more puncture resistant and I want to get better lights.

Here are my two commuters.... I generally use the San Jose.

Shape wise they are very similar but you would have to try the AT3 bars to appreciate how well designed they are... at 210 grams they are very light but are also very strong and have just enough flex to really take the buzz out of rough roads.

They were originally designed for xc racing and I can't believe I parted with them.

Don't necessarily come to this thread to see cityscape pix:rolleyes:

I enjoyed those pictures, ThePerchik.

Thanks Noglider.

My bad, just realized its a thread of the actual bikes, not the commute itself. Will post future shots on the how was your commute thread.

You can't throw your bike in front of those shots?

For pictures of the Pacific Northwest I suggested a thread "The Beautiful PNW Photo thread".
Maybe we should start a "My Beautiful Commute Photo Thread" for the commuters. Maybe "Perchik" could start it with his pictures.

I should post some pics of the traffic line-up for parking spaces on campus while I cruise by on my way to the bike rack, which is located right beside the door of the buiding that I need to go into. Beautiful! :p

I think this is an excellent idea. Not necessarily lots of pictures in one post, but hilights--pretty sights along the way--with bikes or without. Sticky this, and I suspect it would be popular.

Nice ride. that bike is exactly what I am looking for. flat bars, steel frame, no front derailer. it has a classic/clean look to it. Nobody sells bikes like this new it seems and i dont understand why. you can get a single speed but you cant get one with gears in back.

You mean like this? I picked this up at a rummage sale and fixed it up and hope to find a happy owner. It's old but light and spritely.

Tom - That is a very pretty bike... you just don't see to many Fuji bikes that aren't road bikes.

here she is! 1965 Huffy Moulton 4 Speed!
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77...r/IMG_8303.jpg

here she is with a couple of added things:

Marathon Plus tires
Fizik Aliante saddle
1965 Ring Ring english bell

waiting for:
2 rigida rims
spokes
dynohub
install B&M Lights

i enjoyed the pics theperchik! we should totally add a sticky for photos of commute, but with some limitations on quantity per post, only highlights or special photos.

There are a couple out there, but none that I know of with the MTB cassette. I can't figure out why. It seems like such a great combination.

Some that are somewhat close:
Raleigh Roadster - hybrid/comfort
Electra Ticino 8D - hybrid/comfort
Swobo Novak - 3-speed internally geared hub
Swobo Dixon - 9-speed internally geared hub, MTB-ish

Gorgeous !

new bell
 

Look how Velo!

What is your san jose geared at?

This is a 1991 Bridgestone MB-3 MTB converted for road use with 26 X 1.25 Panaracer Pasela TG tires, a Sugino Mighty Comp double crankset with 42-53 Stronglight 107 chainrings, ESGE (SKS) fenders, Cateye halogen headlight and Trek flashing LED taillight. The only others mods I made were to shorten the bars 1.5" overall, install left/right ergo grips and upgrade the front brakes to Deore XT. The pedals are Shimano PD-M737, which are early vintage SPD MTB style double-sided clipless. I use this bike for all weather day and night urban riding and day touring. Although I don't use it for commuting (I'm retired), I do think it would make an excellent commuter bike. It weighs about 26 lbs as shown in the photo. The casette is a 12-28 7-speed, which gives me a 39 to 115 gear range based on a 26" tire size.

Cool! Here's mine, I love the style of the frames.
I have since taken the red bag off, I didn't use it and didn't care for it much.

OK, someone please explain to me the advantage of two top tubes. Thanks.

It's way awesomer!

That has to be the most outstanding answer I've read on this thread! :roflmao2:

My commuter and the end of my commute... :)
