My new bike for commuting

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I finally managed to have the money to pick up a brand new bike to use for commuting. At least the bare bones of it. I don't have fenders or a rack yet, but that'll be happening soon enough. Anyways, I ended up going with this beauty. I'll be posting pictures of my actual bike soon, I just haven't had a chance to get to my camera yet.

Nice bike dude.
Yeah, fenders would be a good addition and some nice slick tyres.
Will be good to see pictures when you get to post them. Always nice to drool over someone elses kit (and I don't mean that to be rude :p)

Always nice to drool over someone elses kit (and I don't mean that to be rude :p)Actually, fenders and some lights are the only real additions that I'll be making. I was surprised because the knobby tires don't feel bad at all. Especially since there is some single-track around here that I would have to go through. Not to mention that the roads around here are in awful condition.

Cool color! I actually painted my electric bass guitar that color, I love it.

I am personally resurrecting a late 80's white Schwinn Super Sport for my new commute to my first teaching job in downtown Indianapolis! ~16mi: 30% neighborhoods and 70% greenway, can't wait!

Love the fixie, I'd go for one, but there's one really big hill (yes there are a few in IN) that rules it out, at least for now.

Hi,

I wondering, why did you opt for a fixed gear?

Yeah good point.

Also so whats his/her name then?:)

To answer the questions...

My name is Dan. I am a guy. And actually, the bike isn't fixed-gear. Only single-speed as it has a freewheel. When I went to the LBS that I bought it from, the guy suggested it for the very fact that it's basically the simplest setup and very easy to repair/hard to break.

To be completely honest, a couple months after purchasing, I stopped riding altogether due to a heightening of gang violence happening on the route that I was taking and I didn't know of an alternative route. But... that is all changing again. In the past couple weeks, I got the fenders, finally. And just today I was at a different LBS to find out if it would even accept a rack. And it did! So I had the guy install it as it involved some bending of the rack frame due to the wide wheels on my bike. Also finally got a frame pump, patch kit, and tire lever. Just need to get a couple of spare tubes when I have money again. Which will be in the next week.

And here is the picture I promised a while ago. It was taken with my camera phone though, so be gracious.
