Show us your commuter! Inspired by Andrea's thread...

Can't you get the coffee in the store? They sell DD coffee in some of the grocery stores out west, I believe I saw it in Safeway. There is are not many DD out west. I think there's like 10 in CA!

We do have the coffee in a few stores here, but its not the same. Maybe its the styrofoam cups (i know, horrible for the planet) or maybe the crack they put in, but ya hafta get the stuff from a DD.

I'm sooo sad I don't have my newest commuter built up yet. She's a sexxxy steel dark green Soma double cross and will have moustache bars, brooks saddle, drive train from my old univega carbolite... I will bump this thread and post a pic when she's alive. For now I ride a trek 7.5fx disc (aka the cop bike). she gets the job done.

Ok, I THINK I'm finally done putting stuff on her, at least for every day things. Here's an updated pic:

F8th: I'm having commuter envy! She's gorgeous!

Is your rear rack designed that way or do you have some sort of extension thingy? What make/model is it? I love how it's level and elevated

Btw, she's a beaut

I actually just installed that rack this weekend. I bought it via Amazon.com from Niagara Cycle Works. It is the Sunlite Bicycle Welded Spring Rear Rack, Black. The directions that come with the thing are a waste of time. If you read the comments someone left about how to install it and especially the pictures someone added on that site you will save yourself A LOT of time. It actually comes with two lengths of those metal bars that attach to the bike. The higher elevation is nice for pedal and wheel clearance but it makes finding a place for your saddle bag rather difficult. The rack was a great investment though. It replaced the one I had before that was just attached via zipties around the seatpost. Same height and everything but this Sunlite rack is definitely made for bikes like mine with the proper eyelets. Hope that helps!

I must take a picture tonight of DH's new Kona Jake. It is such a lean, mean commuting maching. I wish I had bought one for me- shhhh don't tell my commuter.

Here's my new custom commute bike. I got a custom road bike last year and it made such a difference that I ordered a commute bike from the same builder. Also included a pic of the two bikes together.

Cool looking commuter! I love the matching saddle and handlebar ends. Looks like a very purposeful bike.
