I usually commute to work on my Dahon, but if I need to stop by the supermarket on the way home, I use the Yuba Mundo.

That's a great bike.

Very excited to ride this to work for the first time today. I've been gradually working on this bike for the last three months or so. I stripped down most of the parts and this is what I did with it!

Original: Bars, stem, headset, brakes, brake levers, bb, crank arms, pedals
New: Surly 16t fixed cog and 42t chainring, 17t ACS freewheel, bartape (first time ever doing this on my own), brake cables, bell, coffee holder, planet bike eco rack, 8sp chain, old trek mtb saddle, cannondale mtb seat bag, seatpost, 27" wheels, 27x1 1/4 paselas.

My Casseroll Commuter
 

http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5538/9...39ab5d_o_d.jpg

Nitto RB-002 bars. Swapped in a Vaya fork to get the front disc brake, an Avid BB7 road. 1x10 setup, 45T Alfine crank in the front, 11-36T XT cog with Ultegra derailleur in the rear. At 60rpm that gives me a speed range of 5 to 21 mph. According to Shimano, Ultegra can only handle up to a 28 tooth in the cog, but my mechanic figured it would work with a 36T and it does!

XT hubs and 29'er wheels - totally overbuilt but I gave the mechanic latitude on those parts and that's what he elected to go with. If I were to do it again I'd go with lighter weight road wheels and hubs. SKS Longboard fenders, Wald folding baskets, Dura Ace Triathlon bar end shifter on the right, Cane Creek 200 brake lever on the left. Specialized Nimbus 700x35c tires.

Not gonna win any races but is an ultra reliable commuter.

Only one brake then? Any need for a chain guide with the 1x10 setup?

Nice! Surely it helps the RD out in the chain-wrap dept to not have to accomodate larger or smaller rings. You get an extra budget for tooth capacity that you put to good use in the back.

Also, if you dial up to 90-100rpm like you should (save the knees!) you can go even faster!

Yep, just the one. It works really well; I can crush it and it gets just to the point of almost locking up, but doesn't, at least it hasn't in all my tests with it so far. It has great feel and modulation (unlike my mountain bike which sends me over the bars in an emergency stop).

No need for a chain guide. The ultegra is a mid cage design, I think they come in short and long cages as well. I probably could've gone with a shortcage since there's no front derailleur. I like the Alfine with the builtin chainring protector thingie, haven't had an issue with chainprints on the pantleg.

It was a bit of an experiment but I really enjoy riding it so far. If I lived in a steeper area I'd probably go with a front derailleur, but it's working alright for now!

My new ride. Switched over from various bike bags on a hybrid to an Osprey Momentum 34. I wanted something I could use on the weekends and this set-up fits the bill.

The Momentum's a great bag, one of the few with an integrated raincover and the capacity for a 17" laptop. I've used the smaller Momentum for a few years now.

How do you guys post the large photos on this site? I tried posting a url from flickr.com but it doesn't work. Otherwise is shows up a small photo.

Maybe your image is too large? My pic is about 450kb, uploaded to sites.google.com, and linked like you said, via url. When it asks if I want to upload my pic to this site (i think it's a checkbox) I say no.

on (the new) flickr you have to go to the 3 dots at the bottom right corner of the picture you're viewing, which brings up an option menu. click on "view all sizes"
choose the size you want, but DON'T copy the URL on your browser, you have to RIGHT CLICK on the "download this size" above the size listings, and choose COPY LINK ADDRESS (in Chrome, various browsers may say something similar).

if you did it right, the flickr link you end up pasting here will have "farm" and "staticflickr" in the link.

I also always choose to uncheck the box that says "retrieve remote file and host locally" when doing the image linking here on the boards.

Cobra, super nice! love the color and Sun Tour bits.

Thanks Sci Guy, I think that worked. Here is my trusty reliable commuter in winter garb. I change out those studded tires for slicks in summer but the rest remains the same.

Starting a new back up/winter commuter, meet the new drop bar MTB this time with disc brakes. Unknown frame but is surely a big name Manu. Will have full commuter setup with rack and fenders, I have most everything to complete just need some time and ideas for color!

questions
 

do you have the bike glow lights on that bike? also what kind of hub is on the front wheel?

Looks like a good all around commuter too!

The glow is from the headlight's of my wife's car. The front hub is a Sturmey Archer XLFDD; a 90mm drum brake combined with a dynohub.

It already looks badass.

For a long time my Fisher sat un-used and I even thought I might sell it to to buy a newer mountain bike with discs, but after looking at every bike posted in the 452 pages of this thread I decided I would lose too much money selling my 17 year old steelie and it would be a lot more useful and fun to ride if I simply swapped out some parts and set it up as a trainer/commuter.

I put the Drifters on it a few months ago and swapped the 1.5" riser bar for the original flat bar and Fish Stix's Last weekend I picked up an adjustable stem, I have always felt cramped and probably needed the next larger frame size but it's too late now. I put some regular pedals on it in place of the Shimano SPD's that have caused my knees to ache anyway. The original stem is a 120mm but I could not get the bars less than three inches below the seat, this stem allowed me to put the bars about 1" above the seat and as my strength and conditioning improve I can lower the stem and lower the angle stretching out a bit.

This week I received the Brooks B67 and Marathon 1.5's, I am still waiting on a set of silver SKS P45's. I will probably order the 1200 lumen cree T6 light off Amazon this weekend. I have always enjoyed riding at night and the cree 250 lumen headlamp I use now works pretty good but I think the T6 will be a lot nicer.

I took it for a spin this morning and love the Brooks, even the new and hard as a rock leather feels a lot better than every other saddle I have used in the last 20 years excluding the B17 on my PooJoe. The Marathon's don't feel much faster than the Drifter's but they look a heck of a lot better.

Eventually I will add a mini-rack up front and a standard rack in the rear and I want to replace the Sugino Impel black crankset with an all silver crankset.

Hope ya'll like it....

My faithful old commuter and urban assault bike... she has been so many things and tomorrow she is going to look at a new home.

http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/bikes...sale%20(1).JPG

Thankfully... I will be able to visit her often.

Where is she going, Sixty Fiver ? Thought she was you favorite ride.....

Your rigid fork conversion turned out great, droy. Quite versatile ride for your neck of the woods.

I am thinning the herd here and my nephew has been asking me about getting a more road friendly commuter and a bike that he might do some short tours on. I was already planning on selling the Shasta as I still have my Cascade and my go to bike for urban assaults and commuting has been my "new" Moulton.

This is my favourite bike... Forrest was the first bike I could ride after I fragged my back and I have put a lot of blood, sweat, and gears into the little fella and he can do anything the bigger bikes can do except for that freaky looking thing with the 4 inch wide tyres. :)

I haven't put the fenders on yet because we haven't had any measurable amount of rain since i bought it.
