'06 novara bonanza, subtitled "way too much stuff on this bike". weight is not an issue, as riding this bike to work five days a week since may has caused me to loose 50 pounds.

Wow, I just realized I hadn't posted a picture of the bike I've been commuting on the most, my Nishiki. This has quickly become my favorite bike.

you either need to upload the pictures to a host like imageshack and post the link to the picture here using [img] tags, or use the manage attachments button underneath the post window (don't use quick post)

Mine is a 1992 Schwinn High Plains MTB
I recently put fenders on this as well.

Today I shined up my "rain bike" commuter and then shot a few pics. It's an '03 Klein Attitude V with a Brooks Champion
Flyer saddle, Planet Bike fenders, Topeak Moonshine HID headlight, Specialized Nimbus 26x1.5 tires, Trek Disco Inferno
tail light, a Blackburn Mars 3.0 tail light and a Planet Bike brake light. This is my third winter commuting on it. It's a pretty
sweet ride. About 2000 miles showing on the Trek Incite cyclometer...

Here's mine. Some of you may remember my Schwinn World Sport. I just upgraded on the 5th. It's a TREK Jetta that I've made some simple tweaks to in an attempt to set it up for my road commute.
Please excuse the Christmas tree. That's the fault of the cat.

cervelo dual
this is my main commuter for the moment.
my ride is 40 miles roundtrip in mostly heavy urban LA traffic.
all early factory spec Cervelo Dual 2006,
speedplay pedals
longer scott stem
xlab saddle wing
cateye double cadence
I've put about 2800 miles on it last year between spring and winter.
the geometry is steep but necessary for the type of training i do specific to triathlon.
It also makes it easy to walk around the office after a hard ride, or do a 10K.
I've since added:
another foldup/tube kit,
removed the downtube water bottlecage
added a rattlecannned profile aero drink
wrapped the frame with duct tape, stickers and some race numbers
dropped the base bars a bit
angled the aerobars for more leverage
I'm about to build another racer/commuter to retire this^ one to a long ride and race bike only.
After that I'll upgrade for some a HED 3's

that is outfitted with 105 brakes; there isn't much room, these ones look like they might fit the bill.

My 2007 Raleigh One-Way. I've had this bike since September but have just got it into the correct shape to post on this forum (got older pics in SS/FG)
Changes/Additions include
Brooks Pro, Nitto moustache bar, NightRider evolution smart, PB superflash, Blackburn expedition rack, Jandd mini mountain panniers, Time atac alums. I also changed out the stock fenders for SKS cromo plastics after and incident of "boss tripping over bike" (he bought the new ones )
This is a very fun bike, rides like a truck. You have not experienced momentum until you have had 40+lbs of fixed-gear between your legs!

That Nishiki is awsome. So is that tandem looking one directly above. Here is my beater. I'm looking for a rigid fork with disk or canti tabs on it, then I'll most likely be throwing on a ritchey drop bar set up that's kicking around in my shed. Also, some 1 .25" street tires.

My 2006 Surly Karate Monkey. I had it built up by my local LBS (Boulevard Bikes in Chicago). I wanted a "townie" type bike w/an upright ride, single speed. This is my first fully new bike in a long time. My favorites are the Schwalbe Big Apple tires--they're like riding on a cloud. I don't have the specs w/me, but I'll post them soon. There's nothing fancy on it--mid to low level parts to keep the cost down. It's really fun to ride and given the versatility of the frameset I'm hoping to play around w/it to get some different combos (gears/drops, etc.). I'll add a black chainguard and I want to replace the nice looking but way too brittle cork grips w/some leather ones I just ordered. Plus, of course, it's now got a compliment of lights.

Lamplight: What brand fenders? I got the Zefal's....for the $$$ I am happy. But they are a squeeze around 27" wheels. (pic) And, I don't like the rear thin aluminum brace they include for attaching to the brake bar. One bend, maybe two...and after that, it will brake......no pun intended...
What are you using? They look nicer than mine! Could you move your fenders from bike to bike as your needs evolve or would it be too much of a PITA?
Thanks!
