efuentes, what is that? I really like it.

efuentes 09-21-09 08:05 PM

Itīs and old Raleigh True Temper Hybrid Frame, (29er before its time?), Suntour Superbe pro bar end shifters, Zoom Xcross bend handlebar, assorted low buck components, nice long top tube and can fit big rubber.

It started as a commuter bike, but has already done an On/Off road metric Century and a couple of overnighters.The GPS its there since its becoming a hobby to map old trails in Google earth and try to follow them on the weekend.

I am beginning to think that the perfect bike its the one that you can afford to mistreat a little :thumb:

2004 Kona Dr Dew, aka the best $250 I've spent on Craigslist. I need to add a light as it's getting darker every morning. I'll probably be adding a rear rack in the near future too.

My Trek 850 MTB commuter.

This is my commuter.

She started out life as a CCM fully rigid 10 years ago with useful but really cheap parts and evolved through many part upgrades into an amazingly comfortable and reliable commuter.

My rule is to only eat fast food if I ride my bike to and from.

[QUOTE=TwoHeadsBrewing;9655812]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.

Roller/Drum brakes - thing that looks like a disc is actually a heat sink/diffuser:


Thats one of the most nice stock bikes I've ever seen! Seems like Trek knows what there doing!:thumb:

Thats good parenting. When I have a kid one day, he will never had tasted meat. And he will have a 24'' track bike

That is one awesome looking bike and I really like your rims. Did you add the red stripes yourself or were they sold that way? Also are they reflective?

pfft. Good luck with that. It's the equivalent of cramming religion down kids' throats.

My newest commuter! 2008 Bianchi Pista! set up with a flipflop hub (but set fixed.) I added a brake for many reasons but the #1 reason is for when I attach my sons attached bike to it (safety check:thumb:.)
This will be a great fitness commuter for me!

That is not my bike, I was just complimenting the guy who posted it. It does look like the red stripes are reflective, at least I assumed they were.

This started with a Trek Multitrack 700 frame last year, then a gross of ebay auctions, and new paint. I've got about $570 in as it is, with LX-level components. A lovely ride with or without a load. I was planning on upgrading the frame someday, but now that I've been riding it awhile, I don't see the point.

2009 Jamis Commuter 3

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_D0r4CfJhngM/Sr...bike%20001.JPG

My new commuter: 2009 Jamis Commuter 3 - 16.5" in Cabernet Red. It was the last one that the warehouse had in New Jersey, they are rolling out their 2010 models which I *don't* care for, so it was extra special to pick this one up knowing that it almost got away. I did about six months of research before buying. I bought the bike and the rack at my LBS in Tucson (Ordinary Bike Shop) and a grocery bag pannier from Performance Bike.

I'm looking forward to purchasing the accessories, I've scaled the front headlight down to two: NightRider 400 Dual or Dinotte 400L.

I've put my BMW 325i up for sale so I can become a full-time bike commuter...
