I just found this site a few days ago, so this is my first official post. It's not equipped to be a commuter just yet, but I couldn't wait to post a pic of my new Crosstrail!

Welcome! I've always liked the looks of those Crosstrails. Nice acquisition! My advice - invest in a good u-lock and use your cable lock as a back-up only. Search the threads for info on what type of lock to buy.

When I was in Aylmer/Ottawa over winter break I saw a handful of hardcore cyclists/commuters in the snow. I have to just say you guys have my most respect I don't know how you do it! If nothing else, on days when I don't want to ride my 1.5 miles to work here in almost always sunny California, I'll think of you and not let myself be so damn lazy :)

http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9748/samx.jpg The fenders are the SKS chromoplastics with VO mounting hardware. It took a while to "modify" things (lots of drilling and removing of parts on the interior of the SKS fenders) but eventually paid off because they're completely silent, pretty durable, and look half decent. |

Looks like the windshield when I was in Ottawa a week ago. Salt and mess...yuck! I still am shocked people WANT to ride in wet, sludgey, snowy and salty roads :)

One of the straps that holds my front fender on fell off on the way to school saturday... so I had to ride w/o it and the front end got sprayed a bit. Salt is such a pain in the ass. Gonna take it to this shop on the way home from work tomorrow and have it hosed down.
We're supposed to have decent weather for the next week or so... may even get above freezing! |

1980 Schwinn Traveler
My Schwinn Traveler is ready for its first commute tomorrow. I put on new gumwalls, Brooks B-17, and replaced the stem shifters with 600 downtube shifters.

Tonight at the shop we had a pair of Kuwahara Shastas that have both been re-fitted (as fixed gear bikes) to deal with our winter weather and a third Kuwahara escaped before we could snap a picture.
The blue and grey one is my U.A.V. and the other belongs to Finn... the work was minor as he needed a new cone locknut and i swapped out my bb to get a better chain line. It was nice to hang out in a warm and cozy shop this evening even though there was so very little to do. http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/bikepics/kuwies4.jpg |
Careful with those suicide levers, I took a trip over my handlebars when I cranked down on a set of those a few years ago.

Not much commuting duty recently but just out for a ride tonight. It has a newly added dynohub and front disc brake.

This was my commuter for last two years. It had a Shimano 4-speed IGH originally. It was rebuilt for singlespeed after the IGH failed. I also decided I want panniers and more gears so I decided to part with it. If anyone is interested look in the For Sale forum. The pictures of my current commuter are coming too a bit later.

What fenders are those on the blue and gray bike in the foreground? They look like good fenders for a winter bike.

2008 Lemond Poprad with Axiom fenders - awaiting the Tubus Logo rack.
It was stripped of the fenders and used for cyclocross racing last fall. Now thru september all the accessories goes back on as a dedicated commuter and errand runner. Would love to try grocery shopping with it. But with 4 hungry mouths to feed I may need a trailer. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=133621 |

My 2010 DBR Podium 1 roadbike. Rides good and true.
Pix taken with phone camera during last weekend ride around the countryside near my home. Missing in the pix are the standard commuting battlegear. So no Blackburn rear rack, DIY panniers and lights for weekend rides. http://alai.zenfolio.com/img/v6/p737566042-4.jpg Put it at the side of the road for pix. :lol: http://alai.zenfolio.com/img/v8/p559742900-4.jpg http://alai.zenfolio.com/img/v7/p742471794-4.jpg thanks for looking. |
