My New Commuter
Just picked up this Gary Fisher Opie today, I fell in love with the matte black finish and it rides great. Beats making the oil company executives richer.

My Commuter:
My old "Retired" Triathlon Bike from when I was just a beginner doing Sprint Levels.
Converted old Ralleigh Road Bike. Bullhorn TT bars, Profile Design Aerobars. Added some racks, and switched the pedals for SPDs.
Commute: 16.5 one way, across the Connecticut River in Hartford, CT.

what would you define as a commuter bike?
EDIT: tons of people ride there full sus. bikes to school... lol here the comute is through the forest... not always but in my case im moving to a new place and i got cut thruogh the forest to get to school... its like a cross county ski track so its got hills and bends and its dirt (dirt track)... so a MTB would do me good... iv also seen trail look a likes at school...

Excuse me for my ignorance but what are those bikes without seats used for? They look very interesting and cool.

Here's a link that explains what trials is.
Here's a short video that shows what trials looks like. (click the download button when the page loads).
Very few people in the mountain bike forum ride these things. It's a pretty niche crowd, and it's not mountain biking, but I think it's amazing to watch.

Ah, that's a new one on me. Looks like a downhill special to my old fuddy-duddy eye.

I watched that trials video and now I need to learn those skills. They'd be invaluable for hopping over the taxis and hobos that litter the streets here. Seriously, that's some cool stuff. Wish I could do that.

This is my '02 Jamis Nova, minus the panniers, at the top of a bridge thats on my commute now that I've moved. Looking at it, I was pretty intimidated by this bridge...now that I've done it, no big deal, and I'm a regular commuter once again.

I like the colors. Nicer than my '05 -- all black and dark gray. Thinking about getting it painted. One of the guys at the bike shop suggested orange. 
Hmmm. Weren't the '01 Novas orange?
