After months of layoff I'm finally a commuter again! And I finally got off my lazy arse and opened a photobucket account, so here's some bikes.
New bike as of a month ago: http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/v...ke/bike034.jpg 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: 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! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2604/...70729d820b.jpg |

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!

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. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_tM63e4Rno2Y/Sq...0/DSCF0301.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tM63e4Rno2Y/Sq...0/DSCF0304.JPG Cool quick release system...no bungee cords! http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tM63e4Rno2Y/Sq...0/DSCF0307.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tM63e4Rno2Y/Sq...0/DSCF0306.JPG Belt drive sprocket and Nexus 8-speed Internal Gear Hub: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tM63e4Rno2Y/Sq...0/DSCF0312.JPG Roller/Drum brakes - thing that looks like a disc is actually a heat sink/diffuser: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tM63e4Rno2Y/Sq...0/DSCF0316.JPG |

backup mountain bike all hybridyfied and fixed up for commuting. |
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. http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r...o/P9130080.jpg I got myself another bike for backup too: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r...o/P9130079.jpg |

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