My next bike is most likely going to be an LHT. I was thinking of going with the black, but seeing yours is kind of making me wonder if I should go with Blue instead...

Texas Independence? I thought they were going to put that off again for a while...

To me it was just an excuse to ride my bike and drink beer. I'm a damyankee.

Oh sir, that a glut of such bikes was at hand. Ive gone on Craigslist and asked for such bikes to be dusted off and sold to me - with no response.
Man, Im moving where you live!

What size of frame are you looking for ?

Sold a 23-24 inch Peugeot "Fraser" today at the shop for $80.00 complete and in beautiful condition... these Canadian made Peugeots tend to be very well made and well spec'd bikes too.

If I knew what you were looking for I could keep an eye out.

I'm pretty big, 6' 1", 220 lbs - another reason why I like these bikes! 22"-24" is about right for me.
My home area is Augusta, Georgia... Im thinking shipping may be an issue, eh?

You are a gentleman, regardless.

Now THAT is one pimped out scoot!

I am currently riding an 05 Cannondale six13 R5000 Dura Ace as my daily commuter.

I have an On-One Dirty Disco cyclocross disc brake frame on order that I will build up to become my daily commuter, especially in the winter. Will be outfitting it with the following: Dura Ace 7900 compact, Avid BB7s, Chris King hubs and BB, DT Swiss TK 540 Disc wheels, Speedplay Light Action Ti pedals, Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tires, etc...

That'll be a sweet ride.
I'm headed in a (somewhat) similar direction. I am awaiting the new shipment of Singular Gryphon frames - sort of a monstercross with an EBB.
My build will incorporate a Nuvinci N360, Salsa Gordo 29er rims, BB7's, Jeff Jones bar, and Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 32 and 50mm / Big Apple 60mm, depending on my mood. I have Nokian 38mm studded winter tires for it, plus a singlespeed MTB wheelset with 2.4" Racing Ralphs for offroad duty (or I can use the Nuvinci wheel if I want more flexibility). Yep, it'll be an all rounder.

My Summertime commuter and all-round great road companion is my "project" Marinoni. Here it is in commuter guise:

For short distance commuting, I use a Brompton.

My commuting bike is currently a 2009 Trek 7200 which I bought used from a bike rental company in NYC. I will also sometimes use my 2011 Trek/Gary Fisher Utopia or my 2004 Trek 4300.

Like some of the others, I commute on several different bikes but they are all road bikes. My commute route is very hilly but the pavement is generally good, so I have no need for a heavy bike with fat tires. I don't want to lug any more weight up the hills than I have to, and my route is 30 miles round trip.

The bike I ride the most is a Salsa Casseroll, which for me is the ideal commuter -- reasonably light, fast, mounts for fenders and racks, and very comfortable riding. I picked up a used Waterford RST-22 over the summer and it has essentially the same geometry as the Casseroll, so I am commuting on it as well, but it's a little too nice for daily commuting -- mainly because I'm afraid the paint will get scratched or it will be a target for thieves. On nice days when I don't have to carry much gear, I ride my classic De Bernardi, which is fast and fun to ride but doesn't have room or mounts for fenders and racks.

Mine is a Trek Hybrid

So far, I prefer hybrids.

This was my commuter until it was stolen:

Early 90's GT Vantara, with riser bars and thumb shifters.
38mm slick tires.
Reasonably fast, comfortable both for riding and towing and stop-and-go.

This is my commuter now
Early 90's Giant, with a riser MTB stem and cruiser bars and a thumb shifter for the rear (front still on the stem shifters). I very much want to put larger tires on it.

I only have 1.1mi (one way) commute. Lame I know......

I use an MTB (2006? Raleigh Mojave) with disc brakes.

Black Surly LHT with trekking bars, front and rear racks and fenders. The only bike I own. I've put about 2000 miles on her since early May, mostly commuting.

Want to try to build up a front wheel with a dynamo hub and B&M lights... That's my next project.

Before my Surly I had a box store BSO for a couple years.

I spend 90% of my time and miles on a 2010 Kona Dew Drop. I liken it to a crossover SUV of a bike; 37c tires, MTB style frame, but drop bars. Avid Disc brakes for bad weather confidence. Not for real off roading, but it can definitely hang ok on the tow path, and get through crappy pavement with no issues. Yesterday I forgot I was riding heavy, and crossed a speed bump at pace, which shook my panniers, but didn't even give me a wiggle.

As my backup I have a late 90s era Kona hardtail MTB. I've thrown a cheap rack on the back, but I have to say it doesn't play nicely -- I experience some heel strike, so I mostly use a back pack when I ride it. I also prefer the variety of hand positions provided by the drop bars, so I think before winter I'm going to either get some drop or ergon bar ends, as I expect to use the MTB more this winter. The funniest thing about it is I've actually managed to do my shorter rides (under 10 miles each way) somewhat faster on the MTB, I think because I can power over the rough terrain a little better, and I don't even think about most things that might constitute 'obstructions' on the Dew Drop. It also accelerates a little faster, probably due to lower weight, smaller wheels, etc...

I recently acquired a Specialized Roubaix which I intend to be my 'fun' bike, but I expect I'll do some light commuting on it next summer.

I commute on a DaHon Curve SL (8-spd IGH). Pretty much stock except I added a rack, rack trunk and spd pedals (MTB type). My commute is 7.5 miles on the bike and 10 miles on the Green Line Metro Light-Rail one way. The metro is $1.50 each way, but otherwise no problems. Here is a photo of it all folded up, which it is while on the Metro. It takes about 30 - 35 sec. to fold or un-fold. Tires are Schwalbe Marathon Racers w/Mr. Tuffy tire liners. Bottle cage is by Karbona and is the only carbon fiber part on the bike.

I go between my trek fx 7.2 and my giant folder.....depends if i drive and ride or take tke the subway

for short commutes ie 5-7 miles one way I use my general purpose utility commuter.....I put on shorts, t shirt, and bikes shoes. Wash face and switch ot polo and khakis at work.

For longer commutes 8 miles and up one way I use my road bike and wear cycle shorts and jersey.

My daily commuter/grocerygetter/city cruiser is my buddy Byron, a Soma Buena Vista mixte with a Nuvinci drivetrain.
