Hello from Singapore!
Mine's a 2010 Polygon Heist! Old but still going strong – apartments are small here and I only have space for one bike, so I use it for everything from commuting to weekend exploration.
:3
Upgrading the Suntour NEX fork on it to a Surly Ogre Fork tomorrow!

Current setup:
By the way, a while back I did a poll regarding what color crank to purchase and I think I never showed the result. So here it is. I like a lot how the black crank arms/inner chainrings and dark silver big ring look.

Insight Elite
Picked up this beauty yesterday. 2015 Diamondback Insight Elite from Performance Bike that had them on clearance for $475. I had the Insight 3 but didn't feel right so I sold it. I went to the store looking for something else and saw this and tried it out and it felt right. The carbon fork gives it a totally different feel. I went with the LG frame and it felt better than the MD. Went out today for a 12 mile ride and I really like this bike. Like the black on matte black combo. Alivio 9 speed shifters, Alivio RD (11-32), Acera FD, Kenda Kwick-Trax 700x28 tires, Equation R23 wheels, Tektro Aries mech brakes, the stock saddle is comfortable. Planning on upgrading the wheels, seat post, and stem a little later. Added Garmin VIRB handlebar mount, Torch front light, rear light, saddle bag, and Garmin Edge twist lock stem mount. Also have a rack and bag that I will add as well.

A low-quality cell phone photo of my Trek Allant 7.2, bought four days ago. Photo taken on Kakskerta (Google Maps) island today. There were many a more scenic spot on my 51 km ride, but I failed to stop at any of them and took the photo in front of a field that could be anywhere .
Replaced the seat with my old Brooks B17, the pedals with old Shimano SPD dual platforms, added a Tec Components aluminum bottle cage that I had around, and an ancient, basic Sigma computer from 2003. The kickstand was installed by default by the LBS. I hadn't used the computer in years, but the battery still worked, and I've been actually pleased with it. I use Endomondo on my smartphone, but so far it's in my pocket, not mounted on the handlebar.
Looking at the photo I'd really prefer to have some color instead, but the LBS only had the black/gray one (of this or most other hybrids). Trek's pages say the other option for this model is blue.

my 2015 trek fx 7.4, size 22.5". after my 1st ride of the season, a brisk 8 mile ride that had me winded and sweaty in the end!
havent done much to it. only things i did:
- remove deflectors
- added a seat bag, hand pump
- bontrager bottle holder that i got for free
- added toe clips (the straps are off in this pic, gotta put them back on)
- have that cheapo top tube bag there that doesnt fit my iphone 6+ so i cut a hole in the top of it to accommodate it haha
- i have 1 cateye tail light and head light that i will be put on it tonight. i've had them for a while but took them off bc i wanted the bike to look 'cleaner.'

New member. Only have one bike, looking to get a real one for my son. This is the stock photo of mine, a 1999 Haro Vector V1. Just had a tune up and new rubber put on (still hybrid tires).
Only difference is mine has a "fat arse" seat for now, until I shrink it some.
