That's a much nicer carrier for your polar water bottle than this Raleigh.
Got the Sparrow handlebars on and finally got some pics. Got in a 10 mile ride with them this morning. I think they are going to be perfect for riding around town with the wife. Much more comfortable than the stock flat bars. Hand position is only slightly farther back, but the wrist position is just much more relaxed.

De-Commutified my commuter a bit yesterday. Re-routed dynamo wires by removing them from my rack and re-installing light onto my seatpost using a rack light bracket and a seatpost tailight mount.

Goodbye fenders, goodbye rack, hello summer adventuring.

Good looking rig. How do you like that rack? I've been using the same one that you have there for about 6 months now with no problems. Very sturdy even when overloaded which I'm sure I've done a few times.

It seems great so far. It's been awesome not to have a backpack when commuting to work.

This is Amos. I built him up over the weekend. A rack's been installed, but I'm feeling too lazy to take another photo.

The bike in the front weighs about half (or less) what the other one does and I really do feel that, even if it's not a huge percentage of the total package, or even the amount I had in a pannier just now coming back from safeway.

My daily commuter.





Keep it in the break room at work in the little cubby space underneath the microwaves.

Nice folder! For some reason, that second picture folded up looks haphazard and reminds me of a Frankenturret from Portal 2 -- better hope it doesn't walk away on you!

I put my bike back together last night after powder coating it OD green. Pretty happy how it turned out, so I decided to snap a couple of photos at my favorite spot on my commute home.

Nice color for the desert; the no-logo look is very clean and calm
