Cheap. Titanium. Commuter. I am going to go cry in a corner now.

Though I suppose that will make it look cheaper than it is, and ward off thieves.

Think I finally got my lighting figured out for the winter. Lezyne superdrive up front, with a planet bike superturbo in the back, and two walmart spoke mounted wheel lights ($5 a piece, both solid and flashing light, but only had red and green- it's like christmas every day!).

The bike AT NIGHT!

I recently started commuting to work, 9 miles each way. Put my seatpost rack back on this week that takes the light bulky stuff while the rest goes in a backpack. It's in the low 40s in the mornings and about 70F each afternoon so I have been wearing more layers heading in and carrying more layers heading home, so the rack helps a lot keeping bulk off my back.
2006 Felt F5
MagicShine 900 headlight (pre-recall model but with new battery)
PB Superflash on chainstay, generic red blinky on rack.
Lots of reflective tape on rims, near dropouts, and on crankarms.
Topeak seat post mounted rack.
I finally killed my rear Gatorskin a few weeks ago after 6500 miles, but the GP4000s I have on there now are doing surprisingly well, thankfully, considering how much junk is in the bike lanes on many roads here.

working on a little project. Klunker inspired 29er. Old Schwinn frame. awaiting a retro ryder headset so I can use the 1 1/8" fork. Frame will be painted OD green. This thing will be used for commuting, single track, bar hopping...and anything else I feel like!

I have this feeling that old Treks never really die... they just get refinished! This one will (still) be a 650b conversion, but I'm finally upgrading it to 8S.

Did you add extra reflective material to the wheels or is that just the reflection from a stripe on the tires? I got a roll of reflective tape and I've been thinking of doing something with my wheels since my studded Nokians have no reflective stripe on them.

It's the stripes that came on the Schwalbe Marathons. I imagine it would be quite a challenge to get tape to stick on wheels without falling off. Maybe not.

With Photobucket what you want to do is copy/paste the code with the IMG tags on it. Simply click once in the field that says IMG Code, and then type Ctrl-V here to paste that code where you want the pic.
