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.

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:

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!

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.
Unladen:

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:

Random headbadge shot

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!

If the light creates alot of fender wobble, it is really easy to add a stay up front.
