BAH, man, you do some beautiful photography!

Here's mine. 2002 Schwinn Mesa GSD. Changed the front fork out for a Nashbar steel suspension corrected fork, Specialized Armadillo 26x1.95 semi slicks, put some Nashbar trekking bars and the goodies for riding at night. Seems to work pretty good so far.

wow, i completely agree. brokenankle's is pretty fantastic as well IMHO FWIW LOL

thanks! I'm gonna start commuting to my local mtb trails after a fixing up a new bike rack..... :)

That setup is awesome, definitely the most practical use of a chopper I've seen! How fast can you go? Is the singlespeed-ness a problem?

I really like the pics BAH the rack looks good, are the photos of you during a race on bikerubbish?

I always wondered to myself how would one transport a bike with another bike

Well I guess that solves it

Heres my bling bling commutemobile

Thinking about adding a front rack since I have the eyelets for it

Wow that is definately one good looking bike. Are those reflective strips or some sort of flourescense ? They are amazing - me wants !!!!

Holy cow, I love that chopper and the setup! Towing a bike and a skateboard! You're well prepared.

Here is my new winter commuter. Pulling my son's trailer bike.

nice bike fender1! internal hub?

Thanks and yes, nexus 8 "red band"

mmmmmmm...orange and chrome....I think I need help...I'm now drooling over bicycles :eek:

no you dont need help, you just need another bike...LOL

That looks like a great commuter with fenders and the Schmidt generator.

How did you mount the Nexus twist shifter on the drops?

I used the hubub bar end adapter from Harris Cyclery to mount he shifter on the drops. I works very well.

fender1,
That bike is sweet & mean, hot & cool, and wicked & righteous.:)

Reflective tape
The 3m brand is sold at Kragen Auto and some other brand is sold at Pepboys for half the price (but isnt as good)

here's mine. it's a Rescued Trek 800. it's got the original Shimano Exage shiftig components and brakes, and biopace chainrings. I got the rear rack used and the front rack is an NOS Vetta $5 each from the LBS, the rear crate originally belonged to the 7-UP/Dr. Pepper Bottling company. (the one that holds 3 8 pks of 20 oz bottles.) the saddle is from a Schwinn sidewinder, the front fender is from a 1952 Schwinn Traveler 3 speed. I don't have the rear fender mounted yet because i need to make a bracket for it. I have a CatEye opticube 800+ candlepower headlight and a blackburn Mars 2.0 blinkie. as a backup I have the lightset from the '52 schwinn as well. my rear panniers are not mounted right now, but the front one is actually a Rhode Gear "diaper bag" that is supposed to mount on a child seat. it works great to hold tools and stuff I may need to access while riding. I ran out of reflective tape before I could go to crazy with it, but I think I will be seen. I carry/attatch various other things depending on where I'm going. this is my all purpose bike and it handles well. the pic shows it with a 25lb Pumpkin on the back, but I've had 2 bikes strapped on there before. sometimes I see what I can carry just for the sake of saying hey, I can do it. the other pic is when I got it before I had a chance to fix/geek it up

Gave up trying to make the '99 Gary Fisher Tassajara a commuter/beater (frameset is available for trade - looking for a nice 531/Columbus SL road machine), and traded a local cyclist some parts for an ugly Benotto 800-series frameset to cobble together into a decent all-around machine. Rides excellent, although it takes a little getting used the combination of North Road handlebars and rather twitchy racing geometry. Weighs 30 pounds - not bad, considering.

Few things still have to be fine-tuned on it (particularly, mounting a pair of spare Conti 1000s I have on it), but it's perfectly ridable as-is. Could use an Airzound for it though :D

whoa, your garage is immaculate--tell me your secret!




dwoloz, i love that reflective tape because it looks like lightsabers or something. i'm hearing the sound effects in my head right now.

Picked up a new bike today. 198x? Miyata One-Ten. $65 from Craigslist.

First of 2 other people's bikes at the farmer's market this weekend.

On Saturday, a Pedersen, that I'd never heard of before.

I still can't really picture how it works. It had one chainring, maybe 32T?

On Sunday, parked in the same spot, a Rivendell Atlantis. I assume the front wheel was stolen but maybe the owner took it with him/her while shopping. If stolen, not a recommendation for those mini U locks I guess.

My red Gary Fisher mtn bike is in both pix, I think you can only see the reflective sidewall in this one.

Here's my "new" commuter, I took an old Sears and removed the brakes/levers, etc, and put on a rear wheel from a Columbia which is equipped with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed/coaster brake. It's perfect for my extremely short commute - and looks bad enough that no crack heads will steal it.

That bike is Cool! I haven't seen an STP sticker for a long time.

That the wheel was stolen (if indeed it was) has nothing to do with how good a lock that mini U is. That's a terrible locking job. I would have expected a Riv owner to know better. That's a real shame.

Here's my new ride: '06 Gary Fisher Kaitai 29"

An old picture, now I have the dorky neon orange milk carton basket on the back of my rack to hold my stuff :o

It works though :rolleyes:
