Yeah I'm really enjoying it so far :) The silver one is for transporting coffee coolattas to my girlfriend :D as it's stiffer and doesn't allow it to slide left or right (I tried using the black plastic one but it fell out on the way and got everywhere haha)

Heh, I was trying to find an original username a few years ago for another forum and just put phrases into a translator. Thought it sounded nice and My Revenge is pretty sweet ^_^

Here's my 08 Aurora 59cm. Although it's pretty sporty for a touring rig, it's a great commuter. Picked it up as a new build from a guy who just didn't quite fit it (plus, I think his wife was making him cull the herd). I've got OMM rack, Easton EA50 SL's, Full 105, Thompson front and rear. I just added the leatherette bar tape this last weekend. Now she's just waiting for a brooks and some cages that work with the scheme. I picked it up for a song, so I'm super glad I got it, but I'm considering a Surly Cross Check build for the winter commuting season. I'd really like to fit 700x45's with studs for winter time. My commute is 12-20 miles roundtrip, and this Aurora is super comfy...and pretty fast for a "tourer" [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/HPOWNE%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/HPOWNE%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG]http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...5&d=1277503092

Congrats on the Aurora. I've always thought that the 2006/08 models are awesome looking frames. I test road an 08 when I was looking for a touring bike and was really impressed with it.

Still haven't gotten around to putting fenders on my everyday beater bike, but here she is with new Kenda Kwest 100PSI tires. Went for a 32 mile ride this morning, and the roadie group I was with didn't drop me until about mile 25. Blackburn rack, homemade lights, Nashbar butterfly bar, and a road bike freewheel (I live in Louisiana, no hills).

Perfect - Thanks!

Thanks, man... it's a cheap bike, but I'd rather ride a cheap bike than nothing at all.

My trusty 1995 Hoo Koo E Koo (well actually it kinda needs a lot of maintenance, but it rides great.)

Exactly and the step through frame is a must for some women who claim (based on lots of their own experience) of being enormously clumsy. I don't know if I'll ever buy my wife a bike that isn't a step through bike again. No matter the type because its so easy to get whatever type of bike frame (mountain, road, vintage bike) with that quality and build it up how she wants it.

I have a Women's AMF Scorcher roadbike that I plan on fixing up to ride around for myself for a fun cruiser or something cool. Why? It looks freaking awesome with everything red, bartape, seat and just looks like some sort of weird hotrod roadbike. I don't really care if its a women's bike its going to be awesome. =)

So what's that frame hanging in the background?

Been through the wars a bit ;)

DUDE! That Ross looks like a frame for somebody 7 feet tall, but your new Transeo looks good for a 6 footer. Are you a shape-shifter?

1986 Bridgestone 400. I added a bunch of stuff that I had on hand and it is a really nice riding bike. These were considered to be the "lower end" of Bridgestone's line but I really like it!

And I just picked up a new (unused) matching Blackburn front rack for $19.99. Score!

I love my bridgestone MTB. And that is the first time I have ever seen drop brake levers used horizontally. It all came out really nice though.

A few upgrades for the Pug... Suntour; Honor, half ratchets, wide range Sntour 6 speed, and 27 inch Schwalbe Marathons.

She is such a sweet riding bike.

What bag is that?

The bag is an older style" Kevin"s Bag from Rivendell. I think they renamed it and it is now the Sackville xtra small. I know some folks don't care for Rivendell but this bag is really well made and really useful.

Thats an interesting Mercier. What hub is it? Fill in the year models etc.

Lovin' that Mercier build! Are those "interruptor"-type brake levers? How well do they work? Do you get enough leverage to lock up the brakes?

Beautiful bike, that Mercier, gorgeous color and details and finish - but, needs fenders! Hammered aluminium to go along with that metal-flake paint and gorgeous anodized controls, I'm thinking.
