I bought a Dew cheap on CL, and built it closer to how I wanted it. I will be running a single crankring, just need the right size ring and shorted bolts.

I love the fenders on you Gary Fischer, Jeremy Z.

Terrific fenders too! I'm sure there's been days where you thought they were THE BEST thing you've ever done to your bike...

Hi there, from Switzerland, where bike communities have been growing steadily for the past years. I am a long time bike user, do some mountain biking but I mostly use a bike for commuting from home to office (6.5 miles/day) almost daily. Looking for a solution on how to transport my laptop and my files, I have developed a new frame. Have a look: www.tato.li

Nice! Love the cream fenders. I had to check that it was a Gary Fisher at first, I haven't seen these in my local Fisher dealer.

Not yet, but you've probably cursed me. 30% chance of T-storms tomorrow, we'll see. :)

coffeecake: It is hard to recognize it as a Fisher without the huge GARY FISHER along the frame, eh? I think that and the flat black paint was their attempt to not draw thieves' attention to it in the cities.

this is what I use for commuting and riding around...

Trek 720 Multitrack
 

Just bought today off CL. Paid $120 I'm just wondering if I should keep as an ugly looking beater or give it the mega make over. Why don't you guys help me out and offer some advice? The cockpit feels kinda small, but I'm thinking a change of handlebars and a different stem would remedy that feeling. Saddle height needs to be a little higher but leg extension and foot on the pedal placement are ok. Needs new brake pads, a tune up... saddle.

It's not carbon, but has the same specs:

Another Omaha commuter?! What's your route? Perhaps I've seen you before. :3

Anyway, I just bought a new bike yesterday, it's sooo much better than my old bike.

Here's my new ride. It's not exactly a commuter, but more of an everything bike. The occasional commute to work. My evening rides through the Upstate New York countryside. It's also the bike I use for shopping around town. I went for a mountain bike because some of the farm roads I ride on are far worse than many of the hard pack trails I ride on. My town has some wicked nasty roads!!!!! Beautiful scenery, horrible roads. Go figure.

The gearing on this new bike, a 2009 Trek 4300, is kind of interesting. My old Diamondback hardtail was geared much lower overall. It's as if Trek just assumed that an entry level mountain bike would see as much road time as trail time, so they geared it up a tad. My LBS, the awesome Steiners Sports in Valatie NY, must have also assumed the same thing. The handle bars are jacked way up, making for a nice upright ride through the countryside.

The only thing ugly about that bike is the handlebar stem. That is a sweet bike. Fix it up, customize it.

Here's a new pic of my baby.. in the subway station.

I took my first commute to work yesterday. I am going to try and do one day a week for awhile. I wish I could do more but I figure one day is better than none. 10 miles one way. Here is my do everything bike.

Nice bikes guys! I especially like the Peugot folder and the Trek Allant.

Johnny Alien, what is that bike It looks pretty well set-up. Only thing missing is the rack.

Here's the Specialized TriCross Sport I just picked up today. I'm not sure I'll commute on it, as it is nowhere near as comfortable as my Simple City.

As such, I'm not sure if I'll put a rack on or not either.

Those SImple City's are so nice looking!

Mine is a Rivendell Bleriot. I have a Blackburn rack to throw on it but I am not sold on that style yet. I am going to need to commit if I keep commuting though. The laptop backpack killed me.

Mike, I'm LOVING your little U-frame folder! It looks like it's in great shape.

i tried to get a good pic of it but it turned out blurry....

i'm not sure how old the frame is, someone said the 70s but i'm not sure

Talking about the nutcracker... Is that comfy?

To not go too much off topic. How are these Brooks saddles for road bikes? Have been thinking of it, but can't decide.

Here's my commuter, a Marin Muirwoods 29er.

I originally got a Topeak bag but it wasn't big enough for my laptop. So I brought it back and went the milk crate route, which I'm really liking.

I have Brooks on all of my bikes now -- city to MTB to road. As far as which one to choose, Brooks's recommendations are legit -- go narrower for a forward-leaning road bike position.
