Hi everyone!

I got my 29er transformed in a kind of a "Monster Cross".

10v 11-42T cassette and 36T chainring.

Sweet!

Looks like it is bolted to the hole in the fork, where one might mount fenders or a headlight. An alternative to having the cable stop hanging from your headset.

The hanger is bolted to the fork, I have a fork-mounted hanger as well, all that does is hold the end of the brake cable housing. If the pull cable breaks, I'm pretty sure there's nothing to prevent the straddle cable from falling onto the tire. That's why Shimano invented the "link-wire"

Amazing! Only I would change for me is the pedals to double-duty platform/SPD. I've never heard of those Nitto Bosco bars before. Looks like something that would go well on my utility bike, although all of my bikes use 31.8 stems and bars. Looks like they cost a grip, too.

My commuter... out for more of an adventure ride on this particular day. Future location of the KATY (Rock Island) Trail extension into Kansas City!

My 2016 Trek Crockett. I use a backpack to carry items. Speedy and fun.

I like the bold colors (pink and green). Haven't heard of this model before. Looked it up and its one of their cyclocross bikes:

Crockett | Trek Bikes

Nice.

Edit: Maybe if you could find a saddle in a similar green color, then it might complete the color? But that might be a challenge come to think of it...

For many years I lived in KC. Hopefully you enjoy it there. Undoubtedly with AC. My memory of KC is people running from their cars with AC into their homes or offices with AC. All the while making sure to never venture into the foreboding, wanting wasteland that lays between. Things have sure changed since we first moved there in 1993. Now the summers are quite literally unbearable. For comparison, my time in the marines and in the desert was a vacation compared to the summers in KC (thank you desert for your lack of water vapor). There are however still two times per year in which the weather is for a couple of weeks utterly perfect in KC. Good luck and God speed my cycling friend!

Nice.

I also really want one of those. Davy Crockett being one of my childhood hero's helps too.

That Kona build is sexy as hell. Looks like a great ride. I'm thinking about the Cambium saddle and wonder how you like it.

I encountered a bit of fog during yesterday's morning commute.

Thanks. I was lucky enough to encounter a safe barren street on an early foggy morning. Thank goodness for smartphone cameras.

Thanks. The handlebars are stock. You can get a better look at them here:

Not just my commuter, but my everything bike - 2015 Surly Disc Trucker with some stuff and things.

Deviations from stock:

Velocity Cliffhanger rims
Sapim spokes
Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires
Schmidt SON 28 front dyno hub
Supernova E3 Pro 2 front light
Supernova E3 taillight
Switched from ISO 6 bolt to Shimano CenterLock SLX RT68S rotors
Switched from stock 11-36 10 speed cassette to 11-32 10 speed

I think that about covers it. I'm considering replacing the fenders. I've not been happy with the fitment of these SKS, and they really aren't full coverage enough. The last thing I need to get is a handlebar bag to complete my setup. I used my Topeak from another bike for the weekend touring I've done, but as I hope to take longer tours starting in the spring, I'm hoping to find something else I like, as the Topeak is really too small and it enjoys its home on my other bike.
