My commuter, 1994 Schwinn Moab. It carries me 35 miles round trip, 3 days a week typically. Pretty much all still original except the saddle, now a Bontrager Race Lux, LX derailleur (the original Alivio was destroyed when a stick got jammed in it when this was my mtn bike), and the bars/bar ends. Weighs in at 40lbs loaded for commuting.

Here's the commuter I finished last night. I'm running 44x18 fixed (44x17 free on the other side) which is a little low for the street but great for hopping curbs and tearing off down trails and through brush. It's an IRO Rob Roy with a bunch of decent parts (Phil Wood hubs, Surly rack, Brooks saddle, Thomson stem, Sugino cranks, etc.) on it. I rode it this morning and had a blast.

My fixed gear commuter. Running 2 Superflashes and a TL-LD1000 out back, a NR Classic Plus up front, and you can't really see the grocery bag pannier on the non drive side. If I carry any more I'll need a trailer....How hard would it be to make a fixed gear Xtracycle;)

WOW
Very Nice!!

I likey. :)

Couldn't fit text in under this pic, an updated pic of my bike after new cables and brake.

What kind of handlebars are those?

Not sure where my grandfather was off to here, but here he was:

I don't see how going from 2 wheel to 3 wheel would be unstable. That third wheel is the stability

Someday I'll build one

They appear to be moustache handlebars

Some sort of moustache bars, stock on the Redline 925. When I bought the bike I figured I would be replacing them with drops, but they are comfortable.

with a head tube angle like that it would be unstable. Might be fine going straight, but turning would be quite scary.

I've those same fenders, I recommend taking a hacksaw to shorten the wire supports so your toes don't hit them :)

This would be my commuting bike....and is when class is in. Right now, it's my touring bike!

Yea I should do that. I have allready kicked off one of the plastic caps and lost it. Hopefully I can find one somewere.

Hah - ditto. :rolleyes:

Here's my 2006 Bianchi Volpe I just got a couple days ago. Got it to replace my '93 Trek 520. Not that the 520 was a bad bike, but just wanted something a little faster and lighter.

Here's my steed. Out of action at the moment though as snapped a spoke last week.

Here is my Bianchi Boardwalk. Dressed with a black rear rack, black bottle cage, and a Specialized cyclo-computer. More things to come probably next weekend including a trunk bag and some panniers.

Opinions on the bike will be appreciated.

Look great Tranz!

Thank you. Sorry for the horrible quality pics, the sidekick cam is only a measly 1.3 megapixel.

I would see about putting some reflectors on the wheels though. Someone might hit you and mess up your bike!

Im planning on getting a full light setup with a front and rear light.

Heres is another pic of my ever evolving bike. I installed some slicks and some "dorkbars" on it. I just have some regular grips on there for now. I am still experimenting with setups on the bars. I am thinking that maybe I can flip them around and put the breaks and shifters on the sides kinda like a old 3-speed. That how I noticed I ride on the bars so far on the 15 miles I have put on them. Then I can tape em up! The bike would probably look a little nicer if it wasn't for the milk crate, but I dont think I can ride without it now. Plus it helps theft proof it.

Awesome bike there man. I dig those bars, looks like you can get a lot of differnet hand positions with them.

thanks, yea I noticed about 5 differnent comfortable positions on them on my little testdrive. I dont know how many of them I will still use once I get "broken in" to them. They were definatly worth the $15 eitherway. I am thinking about putting my cheap Nashbar panniers on the bike for a while to improve the looks. But I dont think I can carry as much groceries in the panniers. I also carry a backpack and small cooler alot and I am a little lazy when it comes to straping things down. With the crate I just throw the stuff in and go.

Make sure to get an updated pic when/ if you decide to get some panniers and trunk for your bike!

Will do. Right now I am just looking for some good panniers to get. My LBS has a good trunk bag that I will pickup along with some lights, but panniers is a toughie.
