Bikes: 2010 Specialized Tricross Comp 105 Double

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.

Bikes: highly modified specialized crossroads and GT hybrid (really a [formerly] 12-speed bmx cruiser, made before 'hybrid' took on its current meaning), as yet unmodified redline 925, couple of other projects

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

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.

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.

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!

Hope you land on your toes in an emergency stop.

The rain bike...of course now that I have ridden it in all week, it has only sprinkled once on the way in. Loving the Armadillo Nimbus tires on it though. They are a big improvement over the brick-like version and were plenty steady in the wet.
