Work bikes

[grantoury]

My work bike is a second hand van Herwerden "Urban Cowboy", made with some very nice Dedacciai oversized steel tubes. It came with a carbon fork, which I replaced with a Surly. The 7 speed Nexus hub with roller brake I replaced with a singlespeed wheel and a Dia Compe long reach rear brake. It has a Son dynamo hub and halogen light.

Current commuter is a 2021 Ridgeback Expedition (26" wheels though! ), but previously I had a multitude of old classics. Quick list follows:
2002 Rock Lobster Ti , best bike I ever owned, ot did everything including survive unscathed from head-on crashes with trees that left me with a7" scar on my inner thigh.
1990s Raleigh RSP 200 mtb and I think a R300 or similar road bike. The mtb rear triangle would flex visibly when you stamped down hard on a sprint or up a hill.
Giant NRS (not sure of the model name, big bouncy thing though!)
And last but not least, and I have no idea why it lasted commuting duty more than one return trip due to its extreme plush bounciness, an RSP 853 freeride in orange and eggplant ( Tango Tuned too, so tbe sticker said )

don't have a car so my main commuter/do everything bike is my bergamont e cargoville, before that commuted on various steel touring bikes over the years!

No picture for me because they are both road bikes.

Im retired now, but my summer commuter was a 1983 Claud Butler Sierra 531, and my winter bike a 2011 Pinnacle Dolomite 105.

Occasionally in the summer I would use my 2010 Giant Trance X, could go almost door to door on bridleways, but it meant leaving half an hour earlier so I rarely did.

Here's my work bike.

My old work bike - Cannondale M500 - sold only yesterday! Enjoyed riding it, and the fact it wasn't too flashy helped for locking confidence.



Did a bit of work on making my Trek 950 a bit comfier. Was a shame to not keep it all original, since it's in such perfect condition, but I'm a lot comfier and more inclined to ride it with the cockpit upgrades. Such a fun bike and perfect for commuting, and everything else!

This is my every day work bike. Can throw this at anything.

Favourite paint job of all my bikes for sure.

Need to swap the brakes for maguras and put tyres and seatpost on.
