Creepshow:
I commute 42 miles round trip into Boston on a Giant OCR 2. I wondered about fenders and wider tires. They look awesome. I love the OCR for my commute. Your bke looks great!!!!!!!

Well here's my "new" commuter. 87 Specialized Rockhopper, added crossroads tires, slime tubes, new cables, rear rack and grocery bag, front bag, mirror, computer, pump, lock. Got the bike for $30 off Craigslist and had most of the rest of the stuff. Without my stuff (clothes, laptop, lunch, tools, rain gear, water bottles) its about 35 lbs. My commute is 16 miles of mixed paved path and dirt/gravel trails. Rode it about 12 miles yesterday and it works fine, hopefully get a chance to ride it into work on Wednesday and Thursday.

you never can be too secure

you should credit a pic you swipe off the Web...especially ones from Flickr.

I'm moving from a 1996 Gary Fisher Montare. Aluminum frame, carbon FSA seatpost, Specialized Rival saddle, 1.25/26 slicks:



To a 2006 LiteSpeed Firenze, Ti frame/stock ultegra:

You're commuting on Litespeed?

Wow, I hope you can keep an eye on it all day!

Like the Gary Fisher before her, she'll sit in the cubicle beside me all day long. I work at a university in a bike-friendly town (Davis, CA: https://daviswiki.org/Bicycling), where accomodations for bicyclists are substantially more flexible than at my previous "corporate" job.

Well, I'm jealous. Of the bike and the amenities, though as far as cycling goes, we have it pretty well here in PDX.

About my Centurion LeMans - Got it roadworthy on May 5th, commuted for the first time on it May 7th and have racked up 350 miles on it already by commuting (helped along with a 115 mile RT trek out of town to visit friends).

front light is a PB 5000X, rear is the Superflash
I have a 25c on the front, a 28c on the back. Filzer dB4L computer from MEC ($13.50 model). Old cruddy pedals with the broken cage/straps off. I've got some Forte Campus pedals on order from performance bike. Everything else is as the bike came, barring new cables/housings and bar tape.

edit: added another cage on it since I took these photos and my pedals are finally shipped I think!

edit2: I guess I screwed up my search and short term memory - I'd already posted pics a couple weeks ago Doh!

Just got outta work

Here's a picture of my Xtracycle commuter. It's built on an old Supergo MTB frame with a Surly 1x1 fork. It's got a Shimano dynamo hub and Lumotec lighting

2007 Gary Fisher Cronus. Now with 3 miles!

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.

Hey great bike! I have the same model, same year. Current pics at https://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!

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