Very beautiful bikes.

It is a 2012 breezer uptown infinity with an uptown 8 frame. Frame was damaged in shipping and since the frames are identical they sent the first available one, which happened to be the 8. The infinity frame for 2012 is a copper & black affair. The 8 frame is green and moss. The infinity is called such because it has a CVT drive instead of a geared hub, giving you "infinite" gears. The frame is a handy compromise between a road geometry and a dutch style geometry. It is a 23.5 inch frame size, which is a larger size. I am tall, so i need the larger frame. It has "town" style handlebars which are comfortable and easy to reach shifter, brakes, bell, but because of the frame geometry it puts most of your weight on the seat & allows the rider to sit back a bit on flat areas, basically it is a very user friendly layout. The wheels are standard 26 inch 36 hole alu rim brake model DH19 from alexrims. Front spokes are OEM, rear spokes are sapim strong spokes. Front tire is freedom cruz 26x1.5, rear tire is kenda kwik trax 1.75 Both have reflective sidewalls for added safety. Brakes are gereric OEM tektro V brakes. It has a dyno hub on front wheel which powers front & rear lights. It has composite polycarbonate wrapped aluminum fenders - the rear fender's middle 2 alu bits act as conductors to connect dyno hub wire to rear light, the rear light also houses the capacitor for the whole system (both lights stay on when stopped). Pedals and cranks are alu & open platform.

On the back is OEM rack, and a pair of trek interchange panniers the shop threw in with the purchase. The yellow bits are the rain covers for the panniers.

'Tis the season...

I primarily commute on my Trek 520.

I'm not a christmas guy but I like bikes, and even better decorating them with lights!

Didn't commute today, but did get to play around in the snow for the first time on my bike. The roads were a little slushy, but mainly just wet by the time I finally got outside.

i was telling my wife that I want to do that for my bike. I plan to this weekend.
Do you think the lights are distracting to you while riding? does it mess with your vision as you ride? ps i think it looks cool

While the glow coming from below is a little weird, I have not found it distracting. Now, if they were colored and flashing... maybe.

I will probably be removing the lights this weekend-- the weather forecast for next week looks wet, and I think I will spare the lights for next year.

Hey, how do you guys get those large pictures? Whenever I attach or link a photo I always get a thumbnail

I went by a woman with Christmas lights the other day. I didn't even see them until we were even.

I think they were dim enough to but be a bother.

That will be for next year for me.

If you use the little 'Insert Image' button in the bikeforums comment editor, you get the thumbnail.

But if you have sufficient internet-fu, you can embed links to externally-hosted images (like at photobucket etc) into the text of your comment, and then you can control more how they display.

oh that is what i have colored and 3 or 4 flashing haha

Photobucket reduces the quality now. I suggest a site like www.imgur.com for photo hosting. Been using it for a while now and it is simple, like what Photobucket used to be. Make a free account, upload the picture, and copy and paste the BB code to your post. Done.

Thanks RubeRad & TenSpeedV2

Hey - thanks! I like it.

Thinking about adding bar ends or drop handle bars onto my hybrid >_>

Love the reflective sidewalks on my new Marathons :-)

Bar ends might be easier. If you go drops, you will have to redo your shifters/brakes. What kind of bike is it?

Wow, that is a beautiful bike. Well played.

Yeah I know that's why I would be worried about switching the bars out. It's just a Nishiki Hybrid.
Here is a bad picture. Fenders and rack I added on. Think I will just go with bar ends. She's not really built for speed

What is going on with the rims there? Looks like some kinda light mount?

- Andy

They are rim mounted wheel lights called RevoLights. (Revolights Bike Lights). When the wheels are turning, they create a white arc of light in front and a red arc in back. Sort of Tron-like.

My commuter

Very nice! What is the handlebar extender you are using to mount your lights?
