Here is mine. 2013 Charge Zester. I swapped out the flat bar for the bullhorns, changed the seat color, new pedals and bar tape. She is sweet!

One of my roadie friends has an SE that he uses as his around-town bike. (I use my Fantom Cross Uno for the same.) No bike hate here.

Thanks for the compliment!

I absolutely love the ring lock. I got an ABUS one and a chain that can plug into the locking mechanism. I keep the chain in my bag. Combined with Velo Orange's locking skewers, locking this thing up outside is quick and easy.

Just built up this LHT. 7 sp Nexus IGH, roller brake on the rear and direct pull on the front, SKS longboards, Soma Oxford handle bar, 26 in marathons, and NR Lumina 500. Sold my car a couple of years ago and have been working towards this purpose driven self build. Baer Wheels here in town let me use their shop and equipment and know-how to build this up.

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=409537This is a more straight on shot....do they look OK?
It's the way they came and have always seemed OK to me.
Would I be able to ride it if they were all wonky?

Yup - looks like that other photo was just a strange illusion after all.

Wheww! Good thanks, had me worried for a minute there.
I don't have a camera or smart phone so these shots are from my webcam which is less than ideal.

a picture after I got my fenders installed I am not sure if i posted this already but thought I would share. :)

You should definitely look into riser quills. The Nitto Technomic comes to mind.

OK, first post here.....
Got this Bianchi a little while ago and in the process of upgrading it to suite my riding and commute (whilst trying not to spend a lot of money).
Current upgrades include a Rido saddle which I love, Bontrager X lite stem and racelite lowriser bars, specialized contour grips and ends, Continental TravelContact tyres and Power Grip straps.
I do have guards and a rear rack which I may fit for the winter months but unsure of the look!!

Thanks for the tip.

As it turns out I ended up lowering the saddle and the handlebars by about 3 cm. This actually required replacing the stem with a much shorter one, since the one pictured (Soma Sutro w/180mm quill) is as low as it'll go. The current stem is also as low as it will go.

everyone's needs are different, but to my mind this checks every box required to make this bike a super commuter. :thumb:

Thanks!

I lucked out in finding bullhorns with enough room to accommodate the shifters, with a 22.2m diameter.

I love that I can lock it up in sketchier hoods without too many worries.

It almost rides like glory - the engine can use better conditioning :) At a comfortable cadence it still beats out most other cyclists, but more importantly, it smokes public transit!

After several great years beating up a Breezer Finesse on my daily commute in Gotham, I finally tired of the chain and splurged on a BMC belt-drive. The rear rack setup has proved to be a challenge, as the 2014 model has no rack mounting stays of any sort, but the parts are on order, and I'm having fun in the meanwhile, even though I hate backpacks.

My Surly Long Haul Trucker. I removed my four Ortlieb Panniers for a change. I'm using my large Carradice Longflap Saddlebag. I have recently added one of my OYA Canvas Bags, and a Canvas Book Bag. I also have several small backpacks and my Timbuk2 Custom Commute Messenger Bag. So I can still carry easily $100 worth of food.

I can't get the image right side up. I tried rotating the image in my Gallery, but it still shows upside down. Any ideas how to fix this problem? I've never seen this issue before, and I've posted thousands of images on the Internet.

I just put this one back to work today after having obviously been out of all manner of service for years. I cleaned her up and a few minor modifications, and now she's ready to pound out my daily 20 mile R.T. commute in Schwinn Kool Lemon style.

That's a beaut!

Agreed :thumb:

Thanks guys. I've really been enjoying riding that thing the last couple of days and plan to keep using it as my primary commuter bike for awhile.

Building up the new winter bike and figured I may as well get a fitment for the new stupidly bright headlight (I've made it dimable for road use). Sadly the bike will be non disc for now as I just don't have the money to buy disc wheels right now.

Details on that light? Looks pretty sweet!

It's a random project I've been messing with, it's a Whelen brand light usually used as a driving or scene light on fire trucks I got from work, I'm using a 12v 8kmah battery through a pulse width modulator so I can dim it as it'll do 2000 lumin easily. I mostly built it for mountain biking in the winter.

Finally finished my commuter to suite my needs! It's a 2012 Bianchi Camaleonte Sport with a few updates like stem, bars, saddle, tyres, rack etc...
Really enjoying riding this on my 9 mile daily commute.
