Like the looks of my new Jamis Coda Comp.
Transfered most parts from my old commuter (Alu frame started to crack).
Added a kickstand and still have to transfer wheels and lights.
First steel frame (at least as an adult): smooth ride, helped by the nice Vittoria Randonneur tires.

Just purchased this framed x300 this week as my first "decent" bike for commuting.

Already swapped the saddle and added front brake. So far I really like it since it's light and an easy to maintain machinehttps://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ca79db199e.jpg

Here is my steed. It is a Breezer Greenway with Axiom panniers, Ergon Grips and a NiteRider light.

Hey thanks I like it 😊 I think it would be fodder in the hot or not. Doesn't have a straight top tube, has hydraulic disk brakes, doesn't have matching bottle cages, and the stem is not slammed, and has mediocre wheels. LOL

oh and it is 1x drivetrain.

love it though, pleasure commuting around 32 mi RT on limestone and gravel trails.
Comes in at 19 lbs with the lights unclipped, which doesn't seem too bad considering 10r fiber frame, fiber seatpost and saddle, but alloy bars, stem and wheels, XT pedals, and heavier (but bomb-proof ) Clement Strada USH 32mm tires. I also replaced the pinned 10-42 cassette with an X01 10-42 cassette machined out of a single piece of steel. A little bit lighter, but more importantly to me, it just shifts so much better.

My new summer commuter.

Mine has a straight top tube, mechanical rim brakes, no bottle cages, stem is slammed, and has the cheapest shimano wheels you can buy on crc :)

And its a 1x, diy.

Mine weighs 18,3lb or 8,3kg. Not too bad considering I have only one carbon part on there. The saddle. My Selle italia slr nero puro LE, and its only partial carbon. The frame is hand made out of steel in Italy. Steel is real. :)

My current NYC commutes are shorter and flatter; can get away w/ 2 speeds :)

Holy SHORT STEM Batman! Takes cat-like reflexes and nerves of steel to ride that one (at least around here it would). Coupled with those shin shredding pedals, I'm afraid I wouldn't survive. That's the best red I've ever seen on a bike, hands down. Gorgeous!

its no more nervous than a regular bar and a 100mm stem would be. but as you see the bar expands forward like 5cm so a shorty was needed.
The stem bar combo is what counts. and its basically down to whatever your hands end up to when its all finished. and this is like a regular drop bar. in the hoods.

this probably is... on a computer screen that is. i had some wilder (higher dynamic range) but I guessed only i could see them, since i'm on a semi pro Eizo IPS panel and not a consumer TN panel. so i have more depth and more color, and more dynamic range. with this i pic felt like i was cramming the most out of the DR out of a TN panel.

Nice. I like my tech though, ;-)

I was just thinking the other day I would like a candy-apple red bike, metalflake even.

This is my commuter, fun, & anything but MTB trail bike. I justified the purchase by promising myself that I would ride it to work every day the weather would allow. I have kept my promise for 3 weeks so far. Since then, I have added quick trips to the grocery store & errands to the list. It will be going to Virginia Beach with me next week on vacation. It was originally purchased with the intent of riding with my daughter to get her interested in biking.

Did it work?

She is a tough nut to crack. She seems to enjoy leisure rides on dedicated paved bike trails, but other than that I have to bribe her with things like a trip to the ice cream stand or McDonald's.

Well, if anyone can crack your wife's nut, I'm sure it's you. :D

Rode my road bike into work on the trails the other week. Alsmost crashed into a tree on some loose gravel in a curve at the bottom of a hill :eek:

Been commuting 2-3 times per week for the last couple months. I love my little rack, I just tie a small gym bag on top of it and can haul my lunch and some spare clothes, etc.

The new bike is ready for Monday. Nishiki Manitoba.. spent 4 hours at least transferring everything from the Trek and still not done. The butterfly bar and seat (if I don’t like this one) is left.
