I like that!

Which model Schwinn is that? Looks like a Crosscut/Crossroads/Crosscut?

Two Dew's
 

Great looking bike. This gives me lots of ideas for my Dew. Great setup! Here is mine:

updated pic of my Gitane commuter. I'm glad I added the fenders, we have been getting rain pretty much every single day since I installed them :) The rear rack is also new, and very helpful. Next is some powerful lighting.

Finally got Schwinn Coffee for my family commuting, this bike is incredible comfort!

It's an 86 Worldsport

Cool. Good lookin bike man.

Thanks. What size frame do you have, it looks big.

Ooh, very nice!

You have a good eye. It is the biggest size, a 61cm. I am
about 6'4" and it fits be pretty much perfectly.

What's old is new again! It looks like one of the bikes my parents had when I was a kid. I bet yours doesn't rattle and squeak the way that one did!

My daily commuter is a 1987 Schwinn World Sport, my commute is about 6mi one way. The only upgrades so far are Schwalbe Marathon tires (27x1-1/4), brake levers and cables, and el-cheapo front and rear lights. I'm considering a rear rack and new bars, either bullhorns or short risers. I have around $120 total into this bike and by the end of the summer it will have paid for itself in gas savings! I love this bike and take any excuse I can to ride it.

New Cummunter..Finaly!!
 

Picked up my new communter today Marinoni Fango with 105.. through months of procrastination and visiting numerous shops. I walked into local Hamilton bike shop owned by Ex top Canadian racer and Olymipian (70s/80s) Brian Chewter. Sold me what he felt I needed at my riding lvl and style. Hung out for a few hrs after I was sized up, saddle and peddles added. Looking forward to those long rides now.

Here is my latest build for every day use during summer, which I assembled with used and NOS 90's parts:

Sunn Vertik CroMo MTB frameset, Chris King headset, 3ttt road race handlebar, Shimano XT and 105 parts, Sachs Quartz hubs, Mavic 26" rims and other 20+ years old stuff (e.g. the "antique" Lyotard pedals). Finally the bike got pimped with a Brooks Swift leather saddle and bamboo fenders.
:love:

That's one beautiful ride, wasabi.

Happy 4th guys :) Here's a picture of my spot for the festivities this weekend:

Very awesome.

I've been lurking for a few weeks, I just signed up so I guess I'll post.

Specialized Globe Daily 2. I love it, yes I do. I love it so much I ride it on 30 mile journeys to nowhere and then my bum hurts.

Looks like a fine ride to me.

I want that saddle :(

2 bikes in a week is a little too much for me, but luckily got Saab cheaply for my brother commuting.

Spend only $280!

I suppose the funny thing is that it's the stock saddle.

Unfortunately, my stock Globe/Specialized saddle on my Haul was far from adequate for my body. I ditched it in favor of a Brooks after 400-500 miles. Looked good on the bike though.

How did you get your grips to stay looking good? The rubber ones on my Haul quickly faded and turned a really nasty grey/brown pretty fast.

My bike is 3 weeks old and has about 200 miles on it, it's been left out in the rain a few days while I was at work, but I try to keep it inside when I know it's going to rain. I tend to wipe down the grips daily to get my sweat off of them (and there is quite a bit of that).

I'm not sure if any of those actions are prolonging them from turning a different colour, but I have noticed that the saddle and grip colours have slowly moved to hues that don't match each other as well. Maybe Specialized/Globe could have changed the grip material?

Oh well. As soon as I feel like it I will be going with Brooks grips soon here, to match the saddle. My complaints with my Globe are minor, and it is easily the best bike I have ever had. I hope they don't neglect the Haul again this year though, as that will definitely push me toward the Trek Transport and other options. I'd also like to see a drop bar commuter option from them.

I just got to work, second ever bike commute day. Riding a Mongoose Switchback, a bike I haven't seen anywhere else that I've looked. My parents bought it for me when I was a teenager, in a local bike shop. 6 months later, they started selling Mongoose in Wal-Mart and ever since everyone has assumed I ride a walmart bike.

It's a mountain bike, and pretty much is stock... I replaced the lugged off-road tires with armadillo crossroads, put ergon grips on, and replaced the seat with a different one...

The bike's too small for me (i'm 6'2) now, but I'm too fat to even consider a road bike, and I can't justify the expense. My promise to myself is that if I ride this enough to wear out the tires, I should be in good enough shape to get myself a better bike... so I'll keep riding this the rest of the summer.

As fat as I am currently, I don't think a lighter bike is in any way justified.

Where did you get the Saab bike, and where can I get one????

Here is my commuter bike....its a 2010 Gary Fisher piece of crap...oops I mean bicycle
