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.

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.



Put it at the side of the road for pix.




thanks for looking.

I am not sure what the specific model of fenders those are... I prefer fuller fenders for winter riding as they keep my bike (and me cleaner).

My fender set up usually looks like this... my rear fender got broken while my bike was on loan so I need to replace that although the rack does a good job of keeping the spray off my backside.

Here is an update on mine. Nokian 35c studded tires rubbing everywhere and installed the original drops. Used Shimano 600? brake levers. Its still fixed but with brakes and no foot retention.

Very Nice, I have been contemplating the switch to wider fenders on my cross check, what with all the snow that gets packed in there while commuting. Any issues with clearance on those 48's?

I think the CC frame will take ~50mm wide fenders or so. I'm glad I did the 48s and nothing wider. There's no issues with the width.

My only gripe is that there's no L-bracket included with the kit. I used the "crown daruma" install method, described on VO website, to mount the front fender. This put the fender a little higher than I would like. Because of this, the tail end of the fender is further back; this creates a bit of toe overlap, which I've never had before. Next week, I'm going to make the fender hug the tire more. Hopefully this eliminates the toe overlap.

My girlfriend has had this bike for a while, but since she won't join BF and post pictures of it, I have to do it for her.

Its a 2008 Specialized Globe City 7, and I love the bike. Its perfect for her:

Here's my 3rd grader riding home from school on his new 24" bike. He really likes the cargo rack.
