I've just finished building my Cross Check. I bought the frame used, drivetrain is a mix of pieces from old bikes, and wheels, brake levers and barcons are new. It rides great! I didn't commute on it yet though. It is also set up for semi-light touring (hence the front rack).

Thanks for the comment. It was on my MTB before. The struts are adjustable, with a pair of pliers I managed to bend them a little to get the rack straight.

Here's a picture of my brand new commuter birthday gift.
A TREK S720. I'm so pleased with it that I just had to show off.

Very nice. I wish Trek would sell this bike in North America. For some reason bikes with IGH, dynohubs, lights, fenders, and racks seem to be the exception rather than the norm in these parts.

I am not sure of the bike's year, if ANYONE knows what year it might be, it would be a HUGE help. This is going to be my commuter once the next school year rolls around. To and from the train station, and at times to work.
i am planning on freshly wrapping the handlebars (the foam handles are starting to wear away), and I want to get a new saddle for it as well.

My daily commuter.
I can't bring myself to put fenders or racks on it so I only ride in nice weather and wear a backpack. Thankfully in the high desert of New Mexico most of the time the weather is nice and dry!

Nice Giant. Looks really good. The right fenders would look nice but no rack.

Parts dating late in the year usually mean it is next years model.

Can you read Danish?

Many European bikes are spec'd differently than those sold in North America.

Good looking bikes, everybody. I love the diversity in selections we have here. Just goes to show, you can use just about anything to get the job done!
Just bought a pannier/saddlebag for my "beater" Pacific/Schwinn. It's a Sunlite Traveler 1 bag, was on sale at Ebikestop.com for $18! Couldn't pass it up. It probably has more storage than I'll ever need commuting. I'm ready to go!
(Sorry for the sucky cell pics, my good camera had dead batteries)

The picture upload widget doesn't like me either, I had to upload to another site and link the images here for them to work.
