My freshly finished new commuter. I went with the Velo-Orange fenders instead of Honjos. I may have just gotten lucky, but they went on pretty easily and were already pre-drilled. Although I will have to drill to add a mudflap.

Yeah, lots of great bikes here! I have a steel Ritchey BreakAway that I've built up with a mix of campy shifters, shimano rear derailleur and sram cranks and cassette. Hopefully it'll take me to all sorts of exotic locales in the next few years of travel. Here it is at home on the Pacific coast, with some 28mm road tires for mixed terrain use.

Dt240's running open pro rims, full campy
The bike was just being fitted when the pics were taken.
It's a pretty good bet that there were bikes in the boxes.

My one and only bicycle. Dad's old 1979 Raleigh Super Course 12. It's HEAVY, and a bit older than I am, but it's what I have, and I make the best of it.
Are those showing up?

I love those brakes. Good to see them installed on something. The rest of the bike is damn fine as well.
I can't see your pictures, but I'm slowly piecing together a gigantic '78 Super Course. Not top of the line, but nice frames.
