That's such a beautiful bike! How long have you had it, and what do you think of it? Have you changed it up a lot-- I thought I remembered a picture of yours with upright bars.

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for asking.
I got it March 2013, I think. Came with 44cm Noodle drop bars on it. I think it was 22 lbs. complete stock build.
I tried it with Noodle bars, Moustache bars, and Albatross bars. All standard Rivendell bar builds for their bikes.

Now I have 41cm Noodle drops on it, and so far, so good. No pain. Very comfortable. I think I will keep it this way now as long as everything continues to be fine.
It is a very cushy, soft ride and descends like a rock. Very stable and predictable handling.
I like the 650b wheels and that the frame can handle 42mm wide tires.
Wide tires at lower pressures roll great over rough roadways. Stock tires are the massive puncture protected Schwalbe Marathons.

I just finished a metric century on it and I felt great afterwards. So happy to finally be comfortable on it. Took a while for me to dial in my fit.
The Lord willing, I will be fine on it from here on out.

I like it a lot.

Me, too.
Great looking, great performing folder.
Nice ride.

I don't think it folds. But nice nonetheless.

Thanks
Great looking - check
Great performing - check
Folder - ERM... No. Rigid frame. :)

Gotcha.
My bad, didn't look closely enough.
A city velo/20 inch mini then, I assume.
Still nice, fast manuevarable ride for dense areas.
And easy to get on the trains, bus racks, etc.

Very manoeuvrable and easy to getup to speed. Unfortunately I can't take it on the buses here (UK). I am a bus driver, and our company (and I think most others in the UK if not all) only allow folded bikes on board as we have no dedicated cycle racks.

The trains are a different matter, but even they have changed. When I travelled to college (16 years ago :O), we had one big guards van (bit like a box car) which would hold about 30 bikes in their normal position. Now the trains in my area only have five dedicated cycle racks and the bike has to be hung in them. I am not sure about the other services in the country

Here you go. My main ride these days is an 86 Schwinn Tempo, 63cm. I've been riding this for about a 6 months. It has been my favorite by far. I try to ride at least three days a week. Commute is just under 19 miles round trip. I've been swapping the same parts from one frame to another for the last few years. I only upgrade when it's "cheap enough" to do so. Drivetrain is a mix of 105 and 2200. Rear rack is an Axiom Streamliner. Bags are Sunlite. Fenders are Planet Bike. The tires are Serfas Seca Survivors 700x25. These tires have been very impressive.

Thanks everyone for posting your rides. Total eye candy.

My BMC's frame cracked :( (was under warranty, never got a replacement but that's another story....). I've been commuting on my road bike since, but here in the north the road season is coming to end for this year so I needed a new bike.

Got a killer deal on a Cube Cross Disc frameset, and built it up. Stripped some pats off the BMC, and bought some new.
Components:
- Shimano 5700 (shifters, FD, cassette 12-25, chain), 6700 RD, CX50 crankset (46/36).
- Avid BB7 road brakes (160mm).
- Wheels are Mavic A317 disc rims, Sapim Race spokes, DT Pro Lock nipples and Novatec hubs.
- Ritchey Comp post, WCS saddle and WCS Evo Curve bar. Scor stem.
- Schwalbe CX Comp 35mm tyres

Took it for a spin this afternoon. I'm pleased with the outcome. Tyre clearance seems to tighter than on my old bike, don't know if the 40mm studded winter tyres will fit or not.

Yesterday, I commuted on my Twenty.

This picture is from New Jersey a few months ago.

crazy looking stem setup..:p

It was rhm's idea. The bike came with a horrific headset. The upper part had merely nylon bushings instead of a ball bearing. rhm said to put on in an Aheadset headset, so I did. I also tweaked the fork to have less rake, also on his recommendation.

Studded tires???? No, problem.

Put 'em on and go for a ride. The further you go, the better they fit.:p

Had some tinker time in the garage today so decided to fashion some fork mounts for my Cygolights from some spare Greenfield kickstand parts I had lying around.

New commute, new commuter bike:

Bike-bus-bike commute. The Birdy fits well under the bus, drivers who usually hate dealing with full size bikes love it. Since the parking lot is huge and usually full, lots of envious looks when I whip this thing together and ride off.

Ravenhog, that's excellent work!

Besides being my heavy hauler and winter ride extraordinaire, "Stretch" also serves as my mobile shop... :)

I don't have to worry about any mechanical issues with this set up and even took the bike and trailer through our river valley en route to yesterday's worksite.

Yikes, how long before that RD hits something and gets destroyed?

well since that's about the lowest it can get... probably never! :D

My folder has a derailleur that sits a few inches above the ground... if it hits the ground in a turn I am going to be crashing.

That derailleur is quite the low-dangling dingle dongle doodle.

Is that a skateboard deck on the rear rack? What an awesome rig!
