I think the star is completely necessary. It is the capstone that completes the look.

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.

It appears you have bicycles attached under your 18650s. All kidding aside, very nice rides. I run 18650s also, plenty of light!

Aha, another enlighten and intelligent bicyclist!!

However, you are slipping just a tad!! Yes, other than the first pic I showed, the other bikes are double 18650s up front.

The first one, 88 Centurion Ironman Expert is pushing two 26650 up front..thank you kindly..

Also, what kickstand is that? My commuter doesn't have a chainstay bridge, so I'm looking into something different.

After seeing this, I might have to take my Schwinn Searcher and dress it up with the same stuff. Some days, I just can't be bothered to ride a drop bar'd bike.

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.

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. :/
