Show us your Commuting Bike !

[Kins]

This is my main and only working form of transport at the moment, so commuter, shopper etc. Out today to work, then round an old blokes house to fill his coal buckets from his bunker, bit of shopping and bit of tom foolery on the way home.

Just picked up this little ripper for my short commute and about town. Really chuffed with it. Should be nice after a spruce.

Every teenagers dream in the seventies.

This one did me right today through the snow wind and ice

This is my all round all purpose bike. It is NOT a Rory O'Brien but a Dawes of some sort with a real dog's dinner of components including Cinelli bars and stem plus Shimano bits. Great to ride though.

[QUOTE 2263413, member: 1314"]What I was on most of last year - viva pista 2. Sexy mofo. Too cool to be seen outside the shadows. 53x18 fixed. Having a drink with me in a Waterloo boozer. This was a grinder.

What I'm on this year. Urbane, understated, dynamic cooper sebring. 42x16 fixed. With new espresso wheels. Rides like a silent dream. Too cool to be seen sharply. Effortless.[/quote].

Do you think you could wipe some of the vaseline off the camera lens next time?

My Commuter and only bike, Just fitted the tortec tour rear rack as the rucksack sweaty back routine was getting old. Next payday will see new brakes fitted as stock ones are very poor in this weather.

Resurrecting this thread with my now commuter bike. Started off to be a single speed for winter training but I found it to be a good commuter with the 46:19 ratio. Going to make a couple of changes like the tyres as the cheapo Raleigh ones are frightening in the wet! Will also get clip on SKS mud guards soon.

Are those disc brakes?

 

[LutherB]

They are and they're pretty good too, not as sharp as rim brakes

Here's mine,
I built it up last week, using some old and new parts, .

A joy to ride,
11.6 kg without the bag.

Any chance of saying which one? I'm often crossing London between stations and it's always handy to know which pubs you can lug you're bike in without too much drama while waiting on connections. I was a big fan of the Euston Tap for this, but now Waterloo is my main point of entry!
