New bike as of a month ago:

2009 Speciale Randonneur. Added the bag, rack (modified Axiom Streamliner Road), my spd's and changed
the Ritchey 120mm Comp stem for a 90mm Pro to tighten up the cockpit a bit. The wife calls it my "Italian girlfriend" :love:

That is sharp!

Liking the CX as well. Parts wise except for the rims and shifters the are nearly the same parts and price. Like my STI's I wonder if they would slap them on instead of the bar ends?

Mine's pretty spartan... I just carry what little stuff I need (lunch, change of clothes) in a backpack.

Disclaimer: Pic was taken before I adjusted the saddle height. I'm short but not THAT short!

Hope you have a cheap little tramp on the side to ride when it's cold and nasty outside. ;)
That Masi is one of the nicest bikes I've seen in a while. Darn you for posting a pic of her. Thou shall not covet they neighbors bike...

A perfect summers day, too bad it is almost over. This shot was taken on my commute home from work yesterday. I do not stop to smell the roses near enough.

This is my good weather commuter; 2006 Bianchi Castro Valley. I love this bike!

TwoHeadsBrewing 09-11-09 09:59 AM

Just go a Trek Soho 2009 last week, and have put on about 100 miles. I love the bike so far, and it just keeps getting better as I get used to the new riding position. It may not be the ultra light dropbar commuter, but its comfy and a big upgrade from my old Fisher hard tail with road tires.

All loaded down - Topeak MTX rack, trunk bag, computer, lights, etc.

I saw this at my LBS this past week. Almost bought one on the spot. Wife would have killed me. And bikes don't provide adequate shelter ;) But I may still have one in my near future.

backup mountain bike all hybridyfied and fixed up for commuting.

yaztromo 09-14-09 03:30 AM

Gave up my car in January and started commuting the 2.5 miles to work everyday. So far I'm down 10 kilos in weight. Still have 10 kilos to go before I'm officially not a fatty.

This is my daily commuter/beater. £30 off ebay. Spent £50 on Schwalbe City Jet tires and an Axiom rear rack plus a day servicing. I do everything on this bike, shop, see friends, work, etc.

I got myself another bike for backup too:

I love that bike! If you ever want to get rid of it, you have potential buyer, ME!

Nice
 
How do you like the belt drive? It must be super quiet.

I've only owned the bike for a couple weeks, but so far I really like it. My only gripe is the limited gearing options, but I expect that to change as more belt drive bikes come to market. But even at the stock gearing, it is perfect for my daily 9mi commute. The belt drive IS indeed very quiet, and coupled with the IGH there are no loud clangs or clicks when shifting. There is also the other "quiet" which is the reduced vibration in the drive train. Instead of feeling the chain links and teeth on a normal bike, there is no vibration through the belt drive. So far, so good...we'll see how she does through this year. I plan to write a long review at 500 miles when I've really settled into the bike, and then again at 2,000 miles.
