Not pretty, but built like a tank. Schwinn Voyageur 11.8.

This is the most recent image. I just replaced the saddlebag with an xlab mezzopod but don't have a good pic of that setup yet.

Looks like a bluetooth speaker, perhaps a Jawbone.

You're right its a bluetooth speaker, but its a Buckshot by Outdoor Tech

My locking area in the parking garage was full today, so I brought the bike in.

How did you get water-bottle cages mounted onto your fork? It looks like you might have 3(?) brazeons on each side of the fork?

You have a few options for this but there are two easy ones:

1. Ogre Fork
2. Enabler Fork

I have the enabler fork from a previous build that allows bottle cages mounted to the side or Anything Cage. It is a real nice system to have, since I have the frame bag those bottle mounts are now gone. I do not carry much water when I commute, usually a stanley coffee mug and sometimes a kleen kanteeen stainless steel, or beer.

Also there is a mid-blade mount on each side of the fork on the inside and outside, the fork has a lot of options.

Pretty cool, never knew there were forks out there with water bottle cage mounts.

I didn't either until I saw this guy a couple weeks ago.

Water bottles on forks seem like a good idea if you're going to check frequently that they're mounted in a stable way and you don't reach for the bottle while the bike is in motion. Otherwise, don't do it. You could use one of those Minoura adapter thingies to mount bottles to a fork with no bosses.

I have grabbed a bottle plenty of times while it is mounted to the fork, its far easier than grabbing a bottle from the triangle. Plus they are mounted in a stable way with bottle cage bosses, the only way I would not mount on a fork is a p-clamp system as over time it would slide down. I have also seen people mount to to the mid-blade mount then p-clamp the other.

Here is a common option.

My new commuter....Bianchi Volpe with Jack Browns. Very excited about monday.

Nice Volpe! Identical to mine, including the lack B17.

I also commute on a Volpe, also with a B17. :) It's heavy, but it gets the job done admirably.

Hello i am the new one here and i love to see all those great bicycles. Now it is time to post my 10 years old hercules nepal commuter, too.

Wait a second, that Enabler fork has 135mm spacing?? So you use a rear hub for that? How does that work, do you just throw a rear wheel with a freehub in there or something? Or are there 135mm hubs specifically made for the front?

Please don't trespass on railroad tracks. Way too many people have been killed in recent years doing that. Hopefully those are no longer in active use.

That's correct any rear hub will do. I specifically use a Paul Word Disc hub I've had for years, real simple hub real light. But any rear hub will do the trick, this allows me to swap my front and rear wheel very easily. Actually I just did since I snapped a pawl on my IGH and waiting for the parts to get here.

There are 135mm front hubs also, which can be confusing so if this is something you want to do read before you buy. Jeff Jones bikes and White Brothers are spaced for this.

I'd heard of this, where for touring you can actually have two rear wheels, so if something goes wrong with one cassette, you just swap wheels.

Yeah I see that now. For fat tire bikes like those from Surly, you also have to use an offset front fork which spaces the tire about an inch off-center. The rear frame triangle is made this way to prevent drivetrain interference, but if you want to be able to swap wheels the front fork also has to be off-center, or something like that.

these tracks are used for a very slow tourist ( I ride faster than it moves ) train to see the water front of where I am. They are also maybe 5 feet from the path I was biking on but they were perfect to propping my bike up to grab the pic. :thumb:

Time for snow tyres here...
