I commuted on a road bike for over twenty years. Most of of those years, predated hybrids...

Thanks br0nc and Andy, now I dont have to feel bad about my calipers. I have had no problems with them, and thought they worked well, but was under the impression that moving to cantis would be better. Now I can stick with my older frames and be happy. (until I want to upgrade to discs)

New to the forums.

Its nothing fancy but my daily commuter is a 2010 Trek 4300 Disc. I throw on a seat post rack or my Burley Nomad for space if I need to. Although its not as efficient as some, it does have a lockout. I love it and will take it anywhere.

Well, this thread made me join since all your bikes are COOL as hell!

My wife's Raleigh, the thing can haul a load, she had 30lbs of ice while I was carrying her purse...

More a picture the new bags I got during Nashbar's Le Tour sale than my bike. Louis Garneau panniers and front basket/satchel/purse thingy. Also a Banjo Bros. trunk bag. The Panniers are AWESOME - when they first came they seemed dinky, but boy do they expand! I haven't had to use two yet, so far one has always been sufficient. The trunk bag holds my lock and flat kit, and it stays on my bike. I'm in a low crime area and if someone really wants my tire levers that badly they can have them. The front "basket" I got so that I could have a way to tote around my phone, keys, and wallet and quickly take it inside. The quick release on the mounting bracket is nice and sturdy, but the bracket itself isn't really the right size for my handlebars. I had to do some creative free-style shimming with an old innertube to make it fit, and as you can see, the way it sticks out from the handlebars makes it sag. But for the sale price it was worth it.

I also found some retroreflective star stickers and put them on the fenders, because I am apparently 8 years old on the inside.

I guess we'll have to take your word for it, as we (I) can't see the stars in this pic...

Here ya go - none of the pics I took really focused on them and they're not that big, but I like 'em. :D

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

Is this the nashbar cycloscross steel frame?

Yes sir! It comes with 105's sans brakes and a carbon fork all for a bargain price!

Ha, I am replying to my own post!! :lol:

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..

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:D. All kidding aside, very nice rides. I run 18650s also, plenty of light:thumb:!

Aha, another enlighten and intelligent bicyclist!! :thumb:

However, you are slipping just a tad!! :D 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.. ;)

That bike is an SUV!

What's its name?
:)

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

Greenfield stabilizer.
