Here's my commuter.
A Ridgeback Flight 01, before they started putting Disc brakes on them.
Such an easy bike to adjust and maintain.

Sorry missed text. My Kona Smoke. Very sturdy and easily maintained by myself usually! Not the greatest machine ever made but very useful to me and I wouldn't be without it.

very nice.

i'd be careful about having your seat that far back though

 

[Gez73]

Yeah I know but that's via only way to have a saddle bag and use the rack bag when I need to. It's actually very comfortable I just need to remember not to lift the bike by the saddle as it's quite heavy with the rack on. G

Very nice cnb. I have been toying with the idea of drop bars for a while but would have to try if possible. Not had drops in about 25 years on a Viking kiddie racer. Quite surprised at how many commuters are using drops to be honest. Might be the way to go. I just put Marathon Plus Tour tyres on mine today. Will see how I get on, have been using regular Marathon pluses anyway.

I designed the Smoke. I wish Id managed to acquire one for myself - though there are a couple in the family.

Today this:

I've a confession to make...... I put a £40 chrome plated track chain on this bike recently. Even though 90% of it is hidden within the chain case at any given moment. The bit you can see looks GREAT though.

Oops sorry Pat I did think it was like Mickle's bike, it is Mickle's Pashley

Taurus if you please!
