Nice.

My pub and city bike:

Univalve asked for more pics I had to dig through some old photos and boot up an old laptop to find these.

Daily driver (although I ride a winter bike in winter): old pic, bullhorns (which I prefer, actually)


Set up for rain:


With track drops:


Here's my Bridgestone CB-1, which is a nice bike, but it didn't fit me:

I gave it to a (shorter) coworker to use as a commuter bike.

Here's the Bridgestone pulling a bunch of plants for the garden home:


Terrible cameraphone pic of my commuting gear:


And lastly, my sweet fixed-gear lawn mower

Thanks. Very nice Track Frame!

last surviving picture of my old bike...its been almost a year, but i still miss her...

sold this a couple months ago
i dont remember what it funded
but it was to a veteran
who was actually gonna ride it

bought it in 2001 for $12
it was worth a bunch more in '07
by 2012 it didn't matter
bad juju and past lives crawled all over it

updated my daily bike with new parts. feels like a new bike.

i really would like to own a pub bike

a pub bike? what's the kinda bike you ride to the pub?

More importantly, it's the kinda bike you ride back from the pub.

My rides

1996 Klein Pulse Comp. Bontrager bars and stem, Selle Italia racing saddle, Judy fork, Ritchie pads, squeaky dinosaur bell.

Uni your bike is sexy.

I need to get a bike. I'm moving into a more urban community in a month and riding everywhere is very desirable. The idea of a single speed is very appealing to me for low maintenance / cost, but would anyone try to sway me into getting something like a 5/10 speed? I'd like to hear some arguments. I don't think I'd be riding hills or trails on a consistent basis but it might happen.

Also, what do you guys do differently for your winter bikes aside from the tires?

EDIT: the idea of a fixed gear kind of scares the crap out of me, but these is on my local CL:

Quit riding, it's fuckin' cold

As far as fixed gear goes, I wouldn't be too scurr'd as long as there's a brake, like in the links you posted.
I think brakeless ones are a bad idea.
