I mean the actual trains ... devoid of any style, as if they were designed for colour blind people (which they may be given that it's Britain), worn to **** and super expensive.

I like British bikes.

I currently ride a Hi-Ten FGSS, so it must be at least 10 kg.

:lol:

Thanks! Crankset is actually an R565, but I don't mind the extra few ounces. Plus the Shimano rings shift like butter. I've always had FSA rings and even the cheap Shimano stuff shifts better IMO.

I agree about the 6600 crankset though. I've got a full almost NOS gruppo of 6603 (ice grey) that I'm waiting to put on my vintage Trek. Waiting for a deal on an A23 wheel set for that bike as well :) As Jack Johnson says, always sitting, waiting, wishing.

Not a new bike that hasn't been here before, but a new photo.

Commuter bike in the morning by curtis corlew, on Flickr

Wow -- luminous picture!

I ride my Muirwoods to work on most days. When it`s rainy I ride an old minivelo with a basket and fenders.

One more. This is the bike I purchased for $550 back in 1980-something from a store on Bloor St. From Joe Gardin himself, left to die in a couple of garages for 28 years, and recently resurrected. Original handlebar, and seat post. Everything else has been replaced.

Still rides like a rocket! It begs to be ridden hard.

Hand made fender extension :D

Made a couple small changes on my commuter. I swapped out those huge cruiser tires for my semi-slick tires and also went from a 48 tooth to a 44 tooth BMX crank which happens to be blue.............

Yes to this bike. Hell yes!!!

I like it!

I'm considering adding fender extensions to mine as well. I'm undecided as to material though.... was thinking to make them out of leather (which would be easy to do) and water-proofing the heck out of 'em.

Otherwise, i'd have to source another material which would be a bit more of a challenge....

Maybe something like car/truck inner-tube material would work....?

Inner-tube will work, but I think that plastic bottle works best of all. It is solid enough, so it does not wobble by the wind, and if you jump off high curb, it is elastic enough not to be broken. It costs nothing and easy to make, so you do not worry if it is damaged.
The only one disadvantage is the look, but for me functionality is way more important.

It works for me. I use an Ibera rack and trunk bag, tool kit, homemade lock holster, some free market fenders, etc

when making a front fender extender, any recommendation for a way to attach to the fender? I would like to add and remove if possible!

It depends on many things: what extender is made of, what fender is made of, what the length of the extender is. I was lucky in my case i just used the same bolt that holds fender. At my another bike, i had to drill two holes to attach it by two bolts. You should think of something that fixes it well and is reliable. For rubbery extenders i would recommend big washers.

And yes, i saw attachment by adhesive tape. Can work, but you should understand how long and how well.

This season I've been commuting on my 1966 Sports, 4.5 miles each way in Manhattan, while wearing business formal (until after Memorial Day). I have a set of Linus canvas rollup bags on a black Pletscher clone, shown here in Central Park coming home from a grocery run.

Them is three nice lookin bikes in a row!

That fits perfectly.

Thanks, [MENTION=158925]takenreasy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=252435]RubeRad[/MENTION]!

Looks like bicycle should look! :)
Don't you have problems with such cranks to shaft connection?

Sorry [MENTION=438015]WinNT[/MENTION], I don't understand your question.

Sorry, I am asking about this. It is reliable enough?

Thanks, [MENTION=438015]WinNT[/MENTION].

Yes. I serviced the bottom bracket this winter. Everything was in fine condition following it's first 50 years, and I expect it to outlive me! The chain is new as well. These old Raleighs were built to run for decades with minimal maintenance.

My recent pick up a 100 dollar special from craigslist, a 1990 Trek 970 Singletrack.

Not wearing lights for the picture.
