The ever progressing townie, this bike can never seem to stay the same for very long.

A bit of a beater, but I really like the bike. Was built on old Nishiki frame and filled out mostly with parts I had lying around.

Thanks! It's 68cm c-t - a little big for me (I have had people waiting at bus stops yell out, "You know that's too big for you, right?"), but I got the frame for $10. It's a pain to stand over when stopped at intersections, but is plenty comfy when riding.

^^^nice. I'm a fan of those bottle cages (and the bike in general - I have plans for something similar, but with deore trigger shifters rather than bar ends). Your setup looks like it might have you fairly upright. Does that make grabbing a bottle tough?

Posted this in the cruiser forum a while ago. Added almost-porteur bars and mountain bike saddle. Very comfortable bar bike, but still working on bar/seat eight.

This is my beater. It's a Dyno Moto7. I think it's a 96 to 97 model and came with a Shimano Nexus 7 speed hub and 26" tires. I bought it brand new in 1997 rode it sparingly over 2 years then it sat in the garage until about 2 years ago when I decided to see if 700c tires would fit.
I basically threw on spare parts I had laying around:
-Fuji Carbon Fiber Fork
-1/8 inch stem
-Soma Sparrow handlebars
-Rear Weinmann DP18
-Front Araya Super Hard Anodized
-Panaracer Speedblend Tires
-Shimano 105 front brake
-I'm using the original crank/chainring, seat post and brake lever.
-gearing is 44/16
-Sunlite basket
Here is an ad for the bike and shows what it originally looked like:
