this is what I will be riding to school/work every day come late august. It'll be all white with black pinstriping on the frame joints. Oh, and it won't have that extra saw blade once I get finished with the mini-grinder.
It will be going all winter too. I'm thinking of building a trailer.

Definitely the 50th time I've posted my old Stella, but utilitarianism was what I had in mind. All the details here. I was going to get the Nitto rear rack for more hauling capacity, but I'm going to build up an entirely purpose-built hauler/rain bike instead.
I just sold my townie, otherwise I'd post it.

I love the fact that all the bikes shown in this thread are tools. Tools, not jewels!

Cool! I recently found an old lugged steel mtb frame that I'm converting to a fixed gear for grocery hauling purposes, and was thinking about a big rack on the back just like that, but I haven't been able to find any-where'd you pick it up?

I've been reading this thread just waiting for my CETMA 5-rail to arrive. After about two months, it was delivered last Friday. I have nothing but great things to say about Lane and his products.

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

It wasn't too bad actually. It was a little flexy on turns but still very manageable. You have to keep an eye on everything though and it's a little nerve recking to go over a bump for fear of pinch flatting but I pumped my tires up to max before I went there. I had some semi steep hills to climb as well and expected I would have to walk it up but it wasn't bad at all and was able to ride it through. Just had to take things a bit slower than usual. I had to take the lane the full trip because I didn't want to get boxed in, but thankfully the drivers were a LOT more aware and were a bit more forgiving because of what I was carrying. The looks on drivers faces was pretty priceless
