61 DEGREES, SUNNY. GARY FISHER 'UTOPIA'
JERSEY BY https://store.aerotechdesigns.com/decyje.html MADE IN THE USA.

Scoatw.. I love your set-up. It's like a swiss army bike.. Makes me think my bike (shown on previous page) looks a little too boring .

Here is mine. Trek Multitrack. It was a hybrid with riser bars and stem, box wheels and v-brakes.

New/different parts include:

old sora shifters 8sp
new tektro cyclocross brakes
Alex rims DA 22 with Armadillos
rack and PB fenders
Nashbar SPD platforms
Saddle Vader (Selle italia SLR replica)
Acera rear derailleur


Pretty much the only think stock is the frame fork and crank. It gets me to where I need to go.

Just got a new Brooks B17 Standard, and thought a pic might be in order. This is a Giant Lava, and I dont think you can get them outside of China.

Cost me about 1000RMB (about USD$150.)

Alright, I thought I would lower the standards here a little bit. I converted this from my dad's mountain bike that he got from Sears's in the 90s. As a college student I don't have the cash to make it perfect, but it works for the 5 mile ride to work, mile ride to class and a good workout along the Mississippi. I am looking for fenders and any suggestions so please don't hold back.

Just fitted some Velocity Blunt rims, in purple, laced to Shimano XT hubs to my Novara Buzz commuter. They're pretty damn wide rims; the Vittoria Randonneurs seem to just fit at 700x32. I guess they're built for MTB riding, as they were advertised as 29ers, and designed to carry 2.2" tires. They ride a bit stiffer than the WTB Dual Duty rims I replaced, and the purple is a little too wild with the yellow fenders, but I'll swap those out for black Planet Bike Hardcores and I should be back in business. Anyway, they add a nice bit of pizzaz, I think.

Pardon the likely stupid question, but is that a sidecar? I've never seen one for a bicycle before.

Yes, a sidecar by Chariot, with a very clever, bottom bracket mount that allows the bike to lean as normal. I love it!

That's a Nashbar trailer isn't it?

This bike calls becak in my country..Indonesia

Yeah, Nashbar or Performance, one of the two. Not much of a trailer, however, and really only good for grocery getting and carrying stuff to the park...jobs like that. Load rating is quite low, and of course, the single trailing wheel isn't much good at handling lopsided weighting.

Here's what I commuted on today and will commute on tomorrow. Wednesday, it might be the new bike!





Dahon Curve D3. 16" wheels, 3-speed Sturmey Archer hub, aluminum frame. This would be better in flatter areas and smoother streets. The first gear is not low enough for hill climbing. 3rd takes me as fast as I'd want to go with these tiny wheels.

New, so happy, Need extras

Very nice. I love the color. I'd be curious to see what the riding position looks like. It has the drop bars, but doesn't appear to be as long of a reach as most road bikes.

It might look like it, but my old bike was about 20.5 from seat post to stem, and this is the same, The lht does have a shorter stem, and more up right,

Do mind you it is a 50, so its smaller then you might think, photo also might be a little distorted,
Edit: also I just realized the front wheel is placed forward making it look shorter,

Oh but it ride so wonderful, here is a my old bike to far down, and racey for commuting

Wow, that's a beauty, love that crazy paint job!

There's my co-pilot inspecting the front end before take-off.

Made a few changes. Next up, better brakes.

Can anyone out there tell me what these handlebars are (see image on Flickr link below)? They look a lot like the Nitto Promenade (which I love), but these accept bar end shifters which the Promenade will not do. I'm looking for handlebar reco's for a Surly Cross Check tweak I am contemplating, but I want to have a little forward lean....kind of a hybrid between the position the Albatross bars would put me in and what a straight bar would do. Not sure the bars in this picture would accomplish what I'm looking for though.

Here's my thoughts:
- Surly CC stock components (56cm)
- Add Brooks B.67 saddle
- Add swept handlebars
- Really want to be able to use the bar end shifters that come stock
- Maybe a longer stem (120mm? 135mm?) would help me find that happy medium position?

Thoughts?

Looks like one of these...
