Which Ralleigh model is that?

Its is a Raleigh Glacier. You can actually see the name threw the handlebars on in the picture. I havent been able to find any info at all on this bike though (havent looked very hard either).

I've got that same bag. I got mine at a surplus store too. It actually happens to be an Isreali Paratrooper Bag. I found that out when I went into an Arab Grocery Store wearing it. The clerk was a little snappy about telling me the significance of the bag. But it still is a cool bag.

This is soon to be my commuter bike. The rack is off of it and was on my singlespeed until it broke, so im in the market for a new rack & some bags, aswell as a light or two.

Know any info on that frame? because I dont.

Guys do i start commuting on my tcr or do i turn my broken CRX into a single speed and use that.

I have a pretty hilly 24km one way commute but some single speeds look awesome and its only gonna increase my fitness yeah

Mine-

I just started commuting earlier last month. I lurked these forums for a while and with the information I got here and coaxing from my LBS produced this:

240ish miles and counting. :)

Fine looking ride Industrial. Is that front rack/bag stock or aftermarket?

Thanks! The front and rear racks I bought separately at my LBS, they are some kind of specialized cyclo-cross set. The front rack has a bottle opener on the front and just enough space for a 6-pack. :D

Hey great bike! I have the same model, same year. Current pics at http://www.rykoala.org/brooks-trekker/. Its single speed/fixed gear right now, but may get a geared hub in the future.

I have many miles on mine and the frame is bombproof.

Nice commuter, Industrial! What kinda lights you got there?

Priorities baybee! :D

Found out today that the TransIt trunk bag really is waterproof!

Thanks! I have a set of modded Niterider dual minewts(Seoul P4 LED swap).

Nice bike, what fenders are those? I like the looks of single gears but here in CO I'd be walking way too much.

Thanks! Those are just the Freddy Fenders extremes. I like them, they work fine. Single speed isn't for everyone. Here in Reno/Sparks, its pretty flat unless you try to get out of town.

My bike
 

my '93 GT Tequesta, which has served me like a trooper. The wheels and tires have both been replaced several times, as has the seat post and saddle. The original grips vanished loooooong ago, and that big bar has been taped forever.

I can't count the number of miles on this bike, and it's served me well. I've ridden sand pits, dirt trails, fields, every kind of road, snow...everything. It needs new cables, new rims, new tires, a new chain, a new seat, serious adjustment (a recent development as of last week: it won't stay in gear on the front rings any more) and a lot of cleaning. I'd like to replace some of the lower end components. I know that's probably silly, but I have a sentimental attachment!

Just a week ago, I ordered a Cannondale BBU, and I'll have that sometime this week. that will replace this as my medium range rider. I'm going to take that opportunity...this bike will get stripped down, carefully cleaned, the paint touched up, possibly some of the decals lifted, and then I'm going to spend more than it's probably worth to have the old bull spinning again.

It doesn't always sport the neons. That was for a moonlight classic ride in Denver.
1986 Rockhopper all original except the slimed tubes, flame grips, turbo seat, and the NOS FarmerJohn Cousins. Yep, even the chain is original!

Removable fenders and a weird rack on the back. 100 miles a week.
Currenlty being replaced by a $50 1987 Jamis Diablo All original except seat and rear tire. Added a $2 blackburn rack, fenders, and dice vavle caps 'cause that is how I roll.


Here is the Diablo on one of the fun singletrack parts of my commute. Rollin' on the ol' Denver and Rio Grande railroad bed. The black dirt is actually cinders.

Here is my do it all Karate Monkey and my old GT Tequesta commuter now waiting to be reborn.

My commuter as of late:

I commute between a Trek SU100 and an older Trek Antelope 830

Mercurio something-or-other, bought a few days back for about £150 at the LcheapoBS after trading in my dirt-cheap Saracen MTB.

Hello average 18mph!

Hello (today) bodged-on high-rise rack (more screws missing from what the LBS sold me than a flat-pack wardrobe, no, it is actually bolted on, not held on with the bungie) and no more silly stickers (visible screwed up atop saddle.)

Note colour co-ordinated pump allegedly capable of 90psi, and detachable front shrubbery.

Grim lycra-clad racing freaks can say what they like about my pauper's faux racer. I can now keep up with them and say it right back. :) - Taller gearing coming soon, so I can overtake them and fart in their general direction too. :p

I took the front and rear racks, wald folding baskets and my extra headlight off of the Marin today. I know it's not a light bike even with the aluminum frame, but man what a difference!! I still have the fenders and a few other extra things on it but the racks and baskets won't be needed for the TDC sunday and I won't need them before then. Now I know why I fell in love with this bike.

I don't know why I didn't do this last year when I got my bike.

Stock Cross Check Complete w Brooks Professional and natural cork tape for style. Various Lights including Dinotte 5w. Bags are both from nashbar. Reflective tape on fenders is black, and tape on rims/cranks is silver, therefore mostly invisible in normal light.

Nothing fancy, I'm not a bike builder at all. I really would like to buy a hub w internal gears, and a single-speed front crank w chain guard.

The only thing I don't like is that I paid so much that I worry too much when leaving it outside a bar or theatre or store (when i ride to work I can leave it in our warehouse). That and the fact that it eats pants if I dont tuck them into my socks

Cork tape- stylish and comfortable. :D

Well, I got the badboyultra. First stop, hair dryer land. I'm takin off some decals. Not all of them...I kind of like the urban camo Cannondale, and I'm kind of proud of the "Made in the USA" sticker. The rest might go though.

One thing, it seems to shift rough (rougher even than the tequesta's relatively cheap Exage SIS rapidfires). Is there a break-in period associated with the shifters, or does it need adjusted?

I am kind of a fata$$, so the hoss works for its money.

Basic Black?

Nice Bike Friday! Very clean.
How do you like the Out Your Backdoor saddle bag? Looks very retro. I was eying those on ebay...could you fit a large Kryptonite NY U-lock in it?
What brand of water bottle is that?
-Very nice!

Looks like he took the fender mounting bracket, moved it to the center of the fender and used it to attach a blinkie. A nice simple solution.
