Here is my commuter/city bike, with recent changes. New this month are the handlebar and the Sturmey Archer internally geared hub. http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0ne6xbps.jpg http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...pswaa6xxv4.jpg http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps42ks7lbm.jpg Since picking up the frame for a song two years ago, I’ve completely reconfigured it at least three times. It’s had fixed gears, single speed, and now three speeds. Track drop bar, bullhorn, classic road drop, and now riser. No brakes, one brake, and two. I’ve tried two different seat posts and at least three seats. It’s not that I didn’t like any of the previous setups, I just have trouble leaving stuff alone. I’m always looking to make it even better for its intended purpose (which varies according to my mood and changes in my overall bike collection). Each time I've made a big change, I liked it better than before. If you look closely, you’ll see I was not afraid to use a few hardware store parts on it. Most of the components are really good stuff, though. I especially like the PDW fenders and the cargo rack. I’m quite happy with my Brooks saddle, too. My wife gave me the rear hub as a Christmas gift, and I built the wheel on it myself. Turned out pretty good for my first one. http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...psznnxh90p.jpg I prefer to route the shift cable along the top tube and seat stay, instead of the more conventional down tube and chain stay. One reason is to prevent interference with my heel when the crank comes around to 9:00. It almost interferes with a pannier on the rack, but actually clears. http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7ewzooj3.jpg http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...psgvhnw5sx.jpg This bike is versatile, durable, and comfortable… but also heavy. It’s everything my Parallax is not. Since I got it put together three weeks ago, I’ve ridden it more than all my other bikes combined. I keep a dedicated headlight, taillight, and tool pouch on it so it’s always ready to go. I can honestly say I LOVE this bike. Dave |

I've always said if you've gotta have an enormous tumor on your arm, it's nice if it turns out to be a narwhal. Of course, this is extremely rare. |
My daughter is trying to get into SCAD and got a kick out of the drawings. Thanks.
