Here are a few shots of my commuting/touring/travel bike built by Rich Powers, a hobby frame builder here in the midwest. It was built in the year 2000, and has a bit over 50,000 miles on it now.
I've shown photos of this bike at various times in other threads, so I'll offer some shots that I don't use often.

Pinarello
Here is my "Exorcist Green" Pinarello.... It's an '82, and a very sweet ride. I do not think I have ever seen another in this color, but please let me know if you have....

Bates B.A.R.
I've been commuting to work on the Bates this year. 10 miles round-trip, 35 times. No problems on fat sew-ups. This pic is from 3/17.

My green bikes.
1979 Soma Prestige
1986 Takara Highlander, it has quickly become on of my favorite rides.
1985 Schwinn Voyageur. This one hasn't ben done yet..... not sure why because it doesn't need much, tires, tubes and a little TLC. Too many other projects I guess,

I have a Highlander that must be a bit older as it has a cast faux biplane crown and I bought it for the wheels but didn't use them as I got better set off another bike. Should get it in shape and see how it does.

Latest iteration of it.
New Cockpit with black Nitto Pearl Stem, Soma Hwy One bars, Thomsen Seatpost, and Fabric Saddle. Added new cable housings and cables as well as changed from DT shifters to those Dura Ace 8 speed STI shifters.
Little extra green pop with the new bar tape.
Green on underside of the saddle matches the darker green on the top and bottom of the frame tubes.
