My new commuter: old hybrid steel frame, new 700c wheels with Nexus 8/DH-3D72 hubs and Ambrosio rims.

Necromancer Pugsley is ready for commuter duty. I have about 1mm clearance between the rack and the side of the fenders, I'm glad I didn't make them any wider. The orange wheel stripe is actually red, the red reflective tape just looks orange when the camera flash goes off. The rear wheel is a bit out of true radially, but I'm going to wait until my winter tires come in before fixing it. The wheels won't fit in my truing stand with the tires on, and my truing stand is old enough that the extension kit Park sells, won't fit on it.

I ordered a Garmin Edge 500 so I won't have to figure out how to get a wheel sensor to work.

My commuting rig is pretty barebones, but it does the job just fine for my short ~10mi round trip commute:

Hoping to get out tomorrow on my Pug to play a little in the snow which we have lots of...

I had some issues with my pedals icing up yesterday, so I'm going to leave the platforms in as a fall back option.

Riding in deep snow with the Pugsley is an odd sensation. You can feel the bike floating on the snow, yet when you pedal it just keeps going forward anyway instead of the rear tire just digging a hole.

First wash today. Wiped off 3,000 miles of road grime.

Looks great and like it has everything one would want in a commuter.

So many great bikes and so little time to compliment them all...

I re-purposed the shoulder straps and generous strapping they came with and used the male clips to serve as removable deck tie downs that will clip into the smaller top loops I created for tubular items like my tent and sleeping bag as I am pretty sure there are some camping trips to come.

Am not sure I will keep the helmet webbing as it really is not that practical unless I want to carry soccer balls or whole frozen turkeys... :)

Will have to top load the bike to demonstrate how it works... it is pretty slick.

The only other thing I have to do is swap one of the small male ends at the bottom by the compression strap for a female clip so these can serve to secure the bags against the frame... right now they are just tied down with those straps.

You should be familiar with the set up of the bag and should see the free female end that the removable top straps will attach to... they are just tucked away in the side pocket

And yes, I got a silly custom printed cap with my personal slogan on it.

Now you've gone and posted yet another of your impressive stable, and it is a fat bike at that. Sixty, you'll get me into alot of trouble with this! ;)

From today... has been great in the foot of snow we have received in the past three days.
