Here are my commuter bikes. The black Schwinn is my everyday bike.
The Nishiki is the bike i just picked up from the swap meet for $30.:D The bigger chain ring had a couple of broken teeth. I removed the ring and derailer. Now she's a six speed. I'm thinking of making this my winter bike.

Since I pretty much commute on all my road bikes here are the other two I use for when its not raining at all.

The Schwinn gets more attention though since I am a bit more upright on it and I can treat it rougher.

Powergrips, i am so tempted to try some out, but i still don't have a worthy bike, the fixed gear conversion runs spd's. And the winter/rain bike runs some dirt platforms with large studs (spikes). I think its time to take pics of the rides (in their updated form).

I am thinking of getting some winter tires for the red bike, but im not sure its worth the hassle atm.

And I think your red bike is kinda sexy.

Did I say that out loud?

After a series of mishaps, my road bike is all good to go. A week after I bought this bike, a careless driver backed his truck over it, bending my frame, tacoing my back wheel, snapping the rear axle in half and bending the derailleur. It took me 3 weeks to get it to where it is now, and I am slowly upgrading parts as I come across them. This bike gets ridden in if its not raining, and in the Santa Cruz mountains whenever I have the time:).

-Lugged steel frame- no decals, so I have no idea what it is
-Dura-ace shifters(Thanks Iowegian!) and rear derailleur.
-Crappy Shimano front derailleur, to be replaced with a Shimano 600 fd as soon as I can find one.
-Shimano 600 hubs, matrix rims
-Crappy diacompe brakes that will be replaced with modolo master pros as soon as I can borrow a drill for the fork.
-Sakae CR crank- I want to replace it with a more compact crank so I can run a 38t ring.
-Tektro levers
-Flite saddle- will be replaced with a less beat-up flite.

What do you guys think?

WTH are you talking about worthy bikes?;) Powergrips are for any bikes you want to put them on. All my bikes have Powergrips. From my lowly Centurion to the other 2 above. I've done centuries and major climbings with those Powergrips. Just as good as clipless as far as I'm concerned.

Already have a thread for it but here's mine

M_S 11-16-07 12:25 PM

How's the Leader frame?

Is that the Nashbar fork?

yes and yes. The frame is ok, I haven't really done anything buy light commuting. When I'm sprinting it feels a little stiffer than my Giant road bike. I'm still trying to adjust to the geometry. I feel much higher off the ground.

My 6 year old Surly CC. It's lost a lot of its shine over the years, but it still rolls along quick and comfortable. :D

I have too many bikes so can't remember if I posted this already... this bike has the unique ability to keep it from raining as since I built it (for riding in the rain) it's been really dry.

My new commuter. I've been riding a Cannondale R700 road bike to work for several months. I do 32 miles round trip with some pretty big climbs. This bike should work for me in all seasons and all weather.

'06 Bianchi Axis, all stock except:
Niterider Dual Minewt headlights
Dinotte taillight
Cateye Astrale 8 rear-wired cadence cyclometer
Planet Bike Freddy Fenders
Continental Contact 700 x 28C tires

pirate 11-18-07 01:31 PM

that axis is pretty.

Sigurdd50 11-20-07 07:13 PM

A Peugeot (canadian made?) US Express
Ditched the derailleur for a Shimano 3 speed hub
Freddy Fenders
The saddle is gone to a Brooks B72
(Unseen -- Novara Transfer panniers and a rack)

Packer fan?? =]

ShinyBiker 11-20-07 07:34 PM

Nice, Siggurd.

Love seeing new tires on an old bike.

MyBikeGotStolen 11-20-07 08:23 PM

I havent seen colored fenders yet, I definately like them!!

Sigurdd50 11-20-07 09:12 PM

Fenders: it was either black or yellow (or Pink, god forbid)... yellow seemed like Hi-Vis
The accidental Packer motif (or ORegon Duck motif) was... accidental
Perhaps I'll do a custom Lombardi logo

I may go to a forward stem with drop bars... I'm just used to drops

rdrk 11-21-07 12:43 AM
