Here's my daily commuter, a 40 year old French road bike converted to 1 x 5 drivetrain with porteur bars, porteur rack and dynamo lighting:

what did you use to tape the bars?

Ooo la la!

Merci!

Tressostar orange cotton bar tape, with a few coats of amber shellac. It used to be more reddish, but the shellac has faded and it's more orange-y now.

Still dialing in the controls' positions, but it's pretty darn comfy.

^^What front rack is that?

If you hadn't snapped this pix, I would not have believed it. First one photographed in the wild. Congrats.

^Thanks!

Nice!

I've got a set of Soma Sparrow bars under the tree that I'm going to put on my '89 Rockhopper. I'm hoping for a hand position similar to what you've got here. I've got drop bars on it now, but I got an itch to play with its personality a bit.

The Titec bars are pretty comfortable. They feel like a cross between porteur bars and MTB bars (with lots of sweep).

Here's the latest version of my daily commuter which is fully-loaded with "Friday Gear*", sorry about the pic quality...

*Friday Gear = a full weeks worth of work clothes headed for the laundry; could also be called Stinky Gear! lol

In the past couple of months it's been mainly my Bob Jackson and Lotus Eclair:

Fenders and studded tire in front. Yup, it is ready.

Just picked her up off craigslist, my new commuter:

That's a sweet looking bike.

Just added this one. A dedicated winter commuter. Schwalbe Marathon Winter studded tires are on the way.

I saw this on ****** ten minutes ago then came here and got confused for a minute, I thought I had gotten lost on the internet again. Oh well NICE :)

Just got this almost new off Craigslist. I added the Brooks and powergrips.

What model is that? An International?

Holy Moley! :eek:

Sweet lookin' ride.

Here is my commuter at play, on a 44 mile unpaved ride on Saturday

I like the flag in the spokes!

It's a spoke card given out to all the people who rode to a "Texas Independence Day" party earlier this year. Several of my friends will do spoke cards for celebrations like that. The rest of the cards I've collected are on my FG bike.
