New Bike!

On bike to work day I began a commitment to commute to work as often as possible. Unfortunately, my 35 pound hybrid ("The Beast") made it a bit of drudgery. So, I sold it on Craig's list and last night I bought a new bike, a Jamis Coda Comp flat bar road bike. Now I can't wait for next week so I can commute to work!

I've already replaced the pedals with my spd's and the saddle with my Terry Liberator. Next will be to add a rear rack.

Sure wish I could commute to work - congrats to you! :)

Ride safe,

About 25 pounds, or 10 pounds less than my ex-hybrid. It's a steel frame with carbon fork.

:mad:

The pictures are blocked for me but I'm at work...rude!

I can't wait to see it though when I get home.

The 2nd pic, from the front, looks like it's alive. With shiny eyes.

IT'S ALIVE! AIEEEEE!

What kind of shifting?

That is pretty sweet lookin', Nicole! How's it ride? And what kind of tires have you got on it? Next to lube, tires are becoming my favorite bike toy, ahem, accessory ;)

MD Very nice, why did you get a flat bar road bike instead of a drop down??? The reason I am asking is because I've been looking at road bikes and one LBS was pitching the Giant FCR instead of the drop down. I am 51 and was thinking the flat bar might be the thing for me. Nancy

Nice! I wish I didn't live 25 miles away from work so I could commute. I am thinking about Hybrid commuting- bus & ride. Anyway... Craigslist rocks!!

Very nice. You will have many fun commutes with that guy. I love my flat bar road bike for commuting.

Okay. I don't see a kickstand. How is it standing so straight upright??? :confused:

Here it is.
