This baby is a commuting machine. I feel bad that my commute is only 3.5 miles each way. It feels so good to ride that Im going to find a longer route to work. I'm in the military in Hawaii (Oahu) and the Topeka MTX trunk bag holds my full uniform (combat boots-size 13, working uniform, cover, undershirt, socks) adding an additional 13 pounds......yet this rig just keeps on trucking. Perfect bike for crappy Oahu roads. Love this bike.

Such a great forum, BTW. So glad I found it. Cheers.

I have the Blumels / Commuter II's in 700 x 38-47 and yes, 40mm tires would fit on mine easily. I will probably go to 40's at some point. Can you post a pic of your Raleigh?

For the love of everything right with the world, the mobile version of this website is complete garbage. Can't even quote people properly!

Its4theme, your fork is installed backwards.

It is! I have my best luck using the mobile version of chrome.

Bike and Brew tour
 

There's about 7 folks that commute semi-regularly in my office. 4 of us decided to do a Bike and Brew tour after work yesterday. We visited 4 breweries and 1 beer bar, with about 25 miles of riding total. Good times...anyhow, here's a pic of my commuter at the Barrio Brewery:

What's the story with your fork? :twitchy:

Someone forked up?

Maybe scroll to the bottom and click "full site"? That made it alot better for me.

Thanks. It was on a tight-budget. I shopped wisely (and was patient). Mostly new parts, some used (but good).

Welcome to the forum. Nice bike. It'll be way nicer once you spin your fork around.

Ha!

Didn't even notice about the fork. Unfortunately, I have to loosen the handle bars and turn them sideways due to tight storage quarters. I brought it out to wash it when I took the picture and the front wheel swung around on me and I didn't notice when I straightened the handle bars. Fortunately, I didn't make that mistake when I rode it this week.

I really need to find a better storage solution.

^ that is going to get really old having to redo that every time you store it. No other option?

you'd be better dropping the wheel out rather than loosening the handle bars.

I went to a Niner demo at my LBS, the guy from Niner was loosening the stem and rotating the bars every time he got a bike back from demo and put it on the rack. I thought that was weird, he had to pretension&straighten each bike when it went back out, in addition to customizing the suspension and installing pedals.

Sm2000
 

Here's mine: 1989 C-dale SM2000 I have no idea but I'm pretty sure the cranks, derailleurs, stem, shifters, brakes, and levers are the original parts. Maybe wheels too. Bars are for sure new. Rack is crusty

Excellent! That Cannondale was my first real MTB! I put a Manitou 2 shock on it and rode it like crazy. I think my sister may still have it in her garage.

As art, I think that's pretty dumb. I would 'appreciate' it more if it were commissioned by a bagel shop that wanted to attract customers and brighten up the neighborhood. And I like how you caught some bikes behind the sign (especially the guy with the gut bigger than mine)

bagels are my jesus

Praise Challah !?!

:lol:!

[MENTION=367865]leegf[/MENTION], I love your fixie. And I guess I've been passing those bagels without noticing them. What street are they on? I see they're in the Hudson River park.

I "fixed" my wife's old point and shoot digital camera, and brought it with me to take some pics of my bikes.

Thanks Tom! There's one installation on Christopher St and another one on Sixth and 9th.
