The Coffee Bike

Not the prettiest but it works for me!

Looks comfortable and functional!

Need a front basket to balance that thing out:thumb:

Aaron:)

My cargo rig: 1976 Raleigh Sprite with an old and crooked front basket. The rear baskets were replaced by a rack as they were too flimsy. Between the front basket, rear panniers, and a backpack I should be able to haul a decent load of groceries.

Here is my baby with a Nexus internal hub change out:

RACtified Rans Dynamik. My go to utility bike!

Done enough to post it.

1987 Schwinn Woodlands rescued from a dumpster

2.2" WTB Graffiti SF tires
SKS P-65 fenders (front needs a bridge section because it won't clear the forks!)
Velo-Orange Tourist bars
Oury grips
New Falcon friction shifter (front)
Trans-It rear rack
New cables
Nashbar platform/SPD combo pedals
New cassette and chain

Total spent, under $125. I'm ordering a CETMA 7-rail front rack this week, and eventually putting a generator wheel and twin B&M IQ Cyo lights up front; but all in due time. It works well as is.

Clifton - The Schwinn is looking good although I would worry about that crank being able to take the kind of torque you can lay down.

All in all... very very nice.

How in god's good name did I miss seeing this awesome piece of work ?

Have I posted to this thread yet? If not, I have now.

Loaded up at the grocery store... yeah that's ice on the sidewalk

Here's my Montgomery Ward special frame built up for town duty...and its matching trailer. The bike is a single speed and is comprised of mostly used/spare parts. The trailer is made of electrical conduit.

Here's mine and my fiancee's road bikes that we've outfitted for getting groceries. When we're feeling a bit more "fancy" we'll switch out the baskets for panniers. :D

Not sure what material hers is, but mine's steel so it can take the weight easily enough. I can also take the rack and baskets off without too much trouble for longer rides.

Here's my commuter/utility/fun bike, currently hauling books and a laptop in my pannier.
Snapped these off today, these are the first pics i've taken of it too since i built it up from a SS/FG.

'08 Surly Cross-Check, 1x9 gearing, mustache bars, fenders, rack, brooks.

I love my Wald baskets... did you know that they will hold a good sized panier ?

I did not . . . but thank you kindly for informing me. :thumb:

This is quite a tidy setup. Very nice. :thumb:

More utility bike porn. My Rans Dynamik updated with a powdercoated Electra wood rack:

This is an awesome thread ... thanks to all who have posted.

Here's my Kona Blast. It was my first commuter, but it lost it's job since I put my Cross Check. I now use the Kona for hauling my kiddie hauler full of groceries.
