This has been my favorite commuter for the last few years. It has been updated to 700c wheels and high pressure tires. This bike is fast and very reliable especialy in bad weather, the classic english three speed design has been refined for over 100 years and they are such a pleasure to ride on short to medium range commutes. I ride this about 10 miles a day in a dense urban area. The hardest part to find for the wheel conversion is the 36 hole Sturmey Archer hub, they can be found on three spaad kids bikes most often. The only limitation of this bike is the short cotter pin cranks, but I'd have to lose the full chaincase in order to update those. The seat got a little tweeked just before I took this photo, and I have since changed the fork to one that has a bit more rake.

Here is my recently made road-worthy 1997 Raleigh M50. A few lights and fenders and it is on it's way to being a full fledged commuter. I do commute on it now anyway since I wanted to save some wear and tear on my LeMond.

I picked it up off of ebay for $37. I think I did pretty good, but it does give me quite a workout (and I love it)

Cheers,

Brian

Here's my everything bike -- commuter, weekend rides, whatever. I built it pretty econo: Used a Scattante frame from SuperGo, installed a new Simano bottom bracket and crank (Ultegra items that were being phased out), and all the Shimano components from my GT road bike (from back when GT was still an indie company). I typically commute four days a week on it and it's my trusty pal. We treat each other right.

What is that? What's the frame? It's cool.

Thanks! It's a Specialized Crossroads, the right size for someone about 6-8 inches shorter than me...

Here's mine and my wife's. Damn, there's alot of bike crap in that room!

Loading up on dog food for my three border collies..

Billy Boy, border collie #3 is standing guard.

DIY trailer bed for this task is a plastic snow sled tied to the cargo frame with 4 toe clips straps.

Other pics of my trailers were posted on Page 32 Message #797.

Much obliged.

Here's my all-weather commuter, a re-built Giant Farrago. All new parts except for the handlebars (I'll change those in the spring). Geek like on the front; strobe light on the back. Studded nokians for winter riding. Bolted panniers.

Brand new LHT

My 85 Schwinn Super Sport Single Speed (42x17)

Here's my rig... been commuting for about a month... treating me right so far. It's an '04 Sirrus with all labels sanded off. The Bug in back has been great.

Just got her tonight, Trek 7.5 FX. :D

edit - I adjusted the rear fender so it now sits much better.

It's an '87 Schwinn World Sport outfitted for my personal comfort. It's not exactly standard, but it gets the job done and gets me where I am going rather quickly.

Jonathan . . . that frame!

How tall are you!!

Here's mine, a Lemond Big Sky SLT

Well, I'm only 5'11" but I fit the bike very well. I have no idea the actual dimensions of the bike. probably 59-61cm. On my toes, the top tube meets my stuff.

I'm new here. Here's my bike. It normally gets me to work, Here we are having a little fun in the dirt in the east bay hills.

Nice! Like you, my tourer/commuter has the two-tone handlebar tape thing going. Same as your bike, I've got red on the right, but I have green on the left instead of blue. Looks sharp (or quirky, at least), makes for a distinctive bicycle too. It was a happy accident - I didn't know that one roll of cloth tape was only enough for one side of the handlebars! Luckily, I had bought two rolls, with a future project in mind. Of course, they were different colors, but it turned out just fine.

Downshift - gorgeous!

nice bike.. what fender is that??

Hope you land on your toes in an emergency stop. :eek:

IRO Rob Roy CX bike. This is my nice weather commuter. I still have to post a pic of my all weather commuter.
