Sweet find there, Monsterpile. :)

Looking forward to riding the newly minted Moulton Mk1 (1966)... it has everything you would want in a commuter as it has an IGH, fenders, generator light, and it is fast, nimble, and rides like an absolute dream.

May have to increase the gearing as I found myself spinning it out at the top end quite a few times today... the steps on the Nexus 7 are very well spaced (much better than the 8 speed) and if I find myself riding in the dark the halogen headlamp is spectacular (and automatic).

Excellent score... I have quite an affection for Breezers, my wife rides an Uptown 8 that I have been known to borrow from time to time.

Sweet ride
 

Lovin' that Breezer. What'd ya pay, if you don't mind my asking?

Glad you asked. =) It was $50 and less than a mile from my house.

Thanks for all the compliments. A couple times Nashbar had some Breezer bikes for pretty good prices, but I never pulled the triggler because I sold a Bianchi Milano a couple years ago and I couldn't spend more than I sold that for in my mind although the main reason I sold that is it felt too cramped. I might switch out the tires today on the Breezer and do a test run to my new work place just to see how it rolls. For a sub 3 mile each way commute this should do just fine most days. I'll probably ride other bikes too though as usual.

Great find with the Breezer.

Surly Cross Check. Sans fenders for the time being, as we're not likely to see rain for a few more months.

That came out great, nice work!! I'm planning to add drop bars and a derailleur setup to my Mk 3 someday, yours definitely gives me some inspiration :)

I cannot claim any responsibility for anything but the bar swap... it is a bicycle that my friend built up (he is a master mechanic). I really like the steps and range on the Shimano 7 speed over the steps on the 8... they are much more even and feel a derailleur gear on a bicycle with 16 inch wheels warrants a massive chain wheel and some really small rear cogs.

Might play with a Shimano 600 crank and a 52 tooth ring tomorrow... just to see what the vintage crank looks like and bump the gearing up a little.

It got a bell and clipless pedals today... really cannot ride without my gimpy left foot securely attached to the pedals.

Slightly better picture of my new Cross Check

that could be the deal of the year!

Riding the back up as the Kuwie gets some paint and overhaul/new parts, didn't realize it has already seen 15k miles since any real overhaul. I may bump the original build thread when I finish her. Back up bike is a hardrock with a ragtag of old parts and hand me downs, though I think once the kuwie gets done I may actually put some money into the ole rock.

Always good to have a badass back up bike.

Riding your bike to work means you have something to ride at lunchtime!

Has been a week for small wheels... my custom P20 got fenders last fall but yesterday was the first time I needed them. Was out on a parts run when the storm hit and it got a little damp on the ride home.

i wouldn't have the nerve to laugh at someone who has a far better ride than me.

65er, what does the Twenty weigh with accessories removed? You've got a lot of aluminum stuff on it. I have no immediate plans to change my crank or fenders.

And what do you have for a headset and stem? If you have a thread about it, please direct me.

I have no idea what it weighs naked but would estimate that it is in the low 30's.

The headset is a Tange Levin and the stem is an old steel thing I found and then rebuilt... am planning on building a full custom stem to go with the rest of the custom work... the rear triangle is new (4130 chromoly) and the fork is also new.

Replacing the cottered crankset can usually knock off a pound.

Forrest has his own webpage now... that needs a few more updates. :)

Looks good -- thanks for the build photos! I did the same thing with a dark dirty blue CC (but mine is 60cm), building it up first from a donor bike, but eventually I filled out the build and got the donor bike back too. Here's my report.

And since this is the "Commuter Bicycle Pics" thread, here are some pics (note I commute with a rack and small panniers, and since those photos I have slapped on the extra headset spacers):

Your ride to work is more fun than mine...

Just finished this little bastard and it has made my commute a whole lot more fun! it's an origin8 Bully I found at a LBS and I replaced almost every part but the frame and the fork.

I don't think I ever took a photo of it, so here's my N=1 bike:

Sorry for the flare, my tablet camera isn't as good as the 5D I used to have...
