Took this picture this morning, at the halfway point on my commute to work. A 1989 Centurion Master, built by Robbie Tunes. I just added a Fizik white and black seat. You can see she is decked out for travel in the darkness. 
Those two 18650 burners up front, and the PBSF Turbo on the rear light the way..I will ride here sister tomorrow. Her sister is an 1988 Centurion Expert, also built by Robbie Tunes..

Well, I am on different bike today. I was on the one above yesterday, and on her sister today. I am riding a 1988 Centurion Expert.. ahhhh, the sweetness, the smoothness,
I stopped at the same spot for breakfast halfway through the first leg of my commute..

I stopped at the same spot for breakfast halfway through the first leg of my commute..Three days, and three different bikes. This is what I am on today. Sheer sweetness. Yes, that is the old man in the background trying to get a good picture of my 85 Raleigh Prestige.

My new baby, 2012 Raleigh Talus 2.0:
Ram Mount for my phone/gps/other device:
Not much for upgrades yet, just got it. I probably won't do too much with it, though I might go with some different handle bars, grips, and saddle. I have a quick release bike rack that's I use for commuting as well. Just some cheap Bell lights on the front and back but they actually work pretty good.
Whole setup to this point ~$350, not bad for a low budget bike. Rides nice on paved trails for a MTB. I'm way out of shape and obese but I can pump and maintain 16 mph on it and stretch to about 22 at times. Only 10 miles on her so far.

Went to visit my friend up in Canada so I brought my bikes and went for some rides. Here is the Touring/Commuter along the Ottawa River

So....since I have to commute on every bike I get, I'm going to post my soon-to-be road bike next to my Nashbar CX commuter. It's a Fuji SST 3.0 and I cannot wait to call it mine. Oh, and I may have a bike problem/addiction. :/
