Thanks for the compliments guys! It rides great. So much so that I am taking the brooks off my other bike and putting it on this one because I know it will be my main bike for a while.

You commute on those spinergy wheels? How do they hold up? Do you ride on super smooth roads or something?

More importantly, did you paint your B-B-Q grill to match your bike? That's dedication.

And the phone.

Only one set of tracks then the rest is "ok"...Lots of glass and debris though..Cant comment on how true they hold yet only bout 50 miles on them now..

The grill is several years old so I actually make the bike look like the grill.

Christmas present .. I reallllyyyy like that color...

and a little vid

Niiiice. I live in Portland and the other day I saw a guy commuting on an ABSURDLY large unicycle. It was unbelievable. Anyway, at stop lights (because it was so insanely large) he just hopped in place and waited for green. It was awesome.

Here is the new townie I am finishing up for the spring. I'm building around a Soma Buena Vista frame. I came to love the mixte I used last year so I put little money into one that fits. More on it is here on my blog:

been lurking for awhile, decided to finally post! here's my ancient rockhopper.

Love the Rockhopper, that's a classic!

Ahhhh, I thought it looked familiar.

Rocky Mountain Fusion that a guy from work gave me:

Where do you go to meet people who give bikes away?

No rack and panniers?
No fenders?

Just finished installing my new Planet Bike Fenders, Topeak Rack, Delta toe clips (ignore the wrong direction on the toe clip, after taking this photo i realized I installed them backwards ;)), and my Arkel Bug came today too!

Here's the new Trek Mendota with Bontrager BackRack II and Dinotte 1200+ headlight and 400 tail light.

very cool, similar style to my Kona. I like the color.

I'll add to the bike pr0n thread . . .

Wow, what a bunch of nice bikes out there. I'm more than a little envious of some of the custom jobs in this thread. Mine, it's more of a stock job. 2010 Trek 7.2 FX - I've tuned it a bit for speed and carrying capacity - Bontrager rack, SPD pedals, bar-ends, RainRunner Reflex Trekk fenders, and 25 mm 'dillos.

I used just a little pop of fill flash on this shot to show how the fenders light up with the stripe down the middle - don't know why all fenders don't have this feature

Here it is with my typical load - Axiom Lasalle pannier (one side only) and Axiom Laurentian trunk bag:

whats up guys! noob here! this is my about to be commuter bike.

Just finished putting it together this morning after taking a mountain bike and a cruiser apart to mix and match parts..

here is what she looks like now..

I need some cool stickers and some reflective tape to make it more unique..

Here are a couple of updated pics of my Norco Vesta. I've gone to a flat bar now, with a different stem. I have added a dynamo up front with Supernova E3 Pro providing the front blaze and tail light in back for a steady glow. I supplement the dynamo lights with a PB Blaze 2W on blink and a PDW Radbot 1000 in back, on blinking mode.
The bike is a bit dirty due to our snowy/wet conditions lately. I haven't had to touch the belt drive, regardless of the muck I've ridden through. I love it!

Great job! That is a pretty bike.
If the light creates alot of fender wobble, it is really easy to add a stay up front.

Dark. Good idea to get reflective tape. Not to make it unique, but to make it visible to drivers.

How will you carry things? Backpack?

Good on ya, canyoneagle! Nice to see that my sister bike is getting much use. It's hardly recognizable from its stock configuration.

I'm on March break this week so I hope to get in some nice rides on my Ceres, other than for commuting purposes that is. BTW did you know that our bike names were taken from Roman mythology? Ceres is the goddess of agriculture and Vesta is the goddess of hearth and home. The names were also given to two asteroids that dwell in our solar system.

Here is a great notstalgic 1950s dutch video with tons of commuter bikes.

that is how I will do for a little bit. I am planning to get a back rack soon.. The bike shop in my town only had silver and i want a black one.

How do you like the bug? I have been thinking about upgrading to that bag for a little while and I could really use another opinion or two.

p.s. do you have any heel strike issues with the Bug on your Kona ?

I'm digging the Darth Vader SR71 stealth look. Skip the sitickers but you might want to find some 3M reflective tape to put on a few spots. It will look black in the daylight but reflect at night.
