Is that even legal? LOL, nice rig.

Those white fenders make that GT look classy.

Thanks, I was a little torn on the look of appeal but they are slowly starting to grow on me. It almost has that old german motorcycle look to it.

My commuter, sole form of transportation and first real bike. 2009 Bianchi Verona with planet bike fenders, topeak rack, cateye headlight/taillight, seat pack made of recycled tubes and jellibell (I'm mature!). When I'm going grocery shopping or to the farmer's market, I bungee a bright green egg crate to the back rack.

My racing commuter bike!
 

Well, Pictures of bikes used for commutes. I am trying to get into road racing and commuting together so this is a pic of what I ride. A Fuji Team Pro from Skate Escapes in Atlanta Ga. Carbon, with Ultegra/DurAce, I use a Crumpler Mahoubar to carry my stuff, or grocery shop.

My 2009 Salsa La Cruz
 

Here's the pic:

This trusty steed carries me 9 miles each way from upper Manhattan to my job in Midtown. I'm now not planning to buy a subway pass next month when the one I have now expires. My commute is a beautiful ride down the Hudson River with fantastic views of the sailboats moored in the river, the George Washington Bridge, and flashes of lower Manhattan. New Jersey, you're always there, too!

The bike:
2009 Salsa La Cruz
SRAM Rival 10 speed brifters, front der, rear der, crank (46/38), bottom bracket
XT hubs
Salsa rims, stem, bars, WTB saddle (Salsa now, right?) and even seatpost clamp
Cane Creek Crosstop levers
Kalloy seatpost :-( send me your black Thomson Elite if you like, 27.2 mm please!
Crank Bros Candy pedals
Planet Bike fenders (gotta fix that gap down at the chainstay bridge)
Axiom Streamliner DLX rack
Hand-me-down Nashbar pannier
Bell

Lights coming soon...

^^^Gotta love those crazy paint jobs that Cannondale did in the 90s!

I hope you have a good lock looie, that is a sweet Salsa!

I'm currently lock-less. My lock is out on loan along with my 97 Jamis Eclipse to my buddy in Brooklyn. I am phenomenally fortunate. I work in midtown Manhattan. I get to keep my bike at my desk (and look at it all day long). I've got a shower in my building. I've got a beautiful ride to work. I've got a Burley d'Lite ST trailer coming so that I can pull my 8 month old twins around and get the wife back on her bike (1998 Jamis Aurora). Life is awesome.

looie, I used to have that commute. I lived in 10040, specifically on Ellwood St at Nagle Ave. I commuted to W 64 St or E 68 St. The first couple of weeks, it was tough to get up the hill that the GW bridge is on. After a while, I didn't even notice it. I also liked the Riverside Dr part of it, though it was tough in winter. The winds are chilly and strong.

I'm at Ft Washington and 190. No Riverside Drive for me. Just the path and the river. I love having that bit of hill on the way home. I imagine it will fade a little, and then grow again when I hitch the trailer up with the twins in it...

This is my new commuter. It is a KHS Solo SE. Thanks to the guys at Alpha Cycles for the awsome deal. I have changed the cog to a 14 and the brakes to avid BB7 with avid's full metal jackets housing and avid speed dial levers. :love:

yea, im a fan of these bikes in general. i have a 90 SR600 as well. not as crazy looking and actually in pieces right now. i'd really like to get my hands on a cdale track and a cdale MTB of the same vintage to turn to an all-weather commuter weapon. then i'll be done.... then i'll start scouring for mid/late 90s giant cadex's.... wifey will be pleased.


on a serious note, if i wanted to put a rack or fenders on this bike in the future, without mount points, is this impossible?

It is not impossible. All that is required are p-clamps to clamp to the seatstays and the fork.

P-clamps can be found at http://www.velo-orange.com/pforfeat.html for sure and in other places that do not currently come to mind.

Good luck,

Home Depot , Lowe's, or any hardware store

I really like this Cannondale. Good work.
I've been thinking about doing a 1x8 setup on an older Trek. How hard is it keeping the chain on through the full range of gears? Do you have anything installed that helps it stay on?

3.0 frames the problem is less the upper mount and more the lower mount. They have a cantilever drop out. There is nothing to bolt to on the rear. You have to mount the rack off the Skewer.

Nice job...
 

Some great looking bikes...:D

thanks, i'll post better pics when i get it where i want it.
im using the 52t chainring in the standard outer position for a double and havent dropped a chain yet. my derailleur has good tension so im going to assume a tight der + a big chainring is helping in chain retention.

i was commuting on my 91 SR600 but it was too nice and i wrecked the original wheels on the bad roads i travel on. here is a pic:

i love her. she is my baby.

I used to train on a black 3.0 with campy record. Great bike for criterium-style riding. Ridiculously stiff, great acceleration, wicked handling.............. brutal on long rides.

I re-geared my Paramount (from a triple to a double) and added a large Sackville saddle bag from Rivendell. Liking the changes......:)
