What do you guys recomend for a good everyday commuter bike?

I just bought a Windsor Timeline from bikes direct and so far I have been satisfied with it.

Of course its TT/Track geometry. Aside from Cervello, no major manufacturer is going to mass produce an aggressive geometry frame for road use. Nor are they going to use aero tubing to build it. Too much time, and $ to make a new mold for their Chinese mass produced cookie cutter carbon frames that won't sell well because they are too aggressive for a weekend warrior.

I went custom to build an aero tubed crit bike. Its got an 11.25" tall bottom bracket, and TDF TT geometry (74 degree seat tube is the maximum allowed for a UCI TT bike.) with really short chain stays. The bike is a rocket, and with a swap of the bars and stem becomes a very good 40K TT bike.

seriously, wut.

I have a small Medici coming in tomorrow for a refurb quote. Depending on how much parts will cost (and my time to go over it) to get it back to par, the owner might want to part it out. I think its a 52cm.... If you're interested, let me know.

Well, if neither I nor the police can find my bike I'm looking at rebuilding one of these that I found on CL.

That /\ looks like a Trek 660 which is a nice tubeset of 531 reynolds. The Biopace would make a nice throwing star.

Just got back into mountain biking, and there are loads of trails around here.

Nothing special, but it is a good bike for me for now.

Specialized Hardrock 29er.

Saw this on the my daily uncrate feed:

http://uncrate.com/stuff/delta-7-arantix-mountain-bike/

Delta 7 has manufactured the first high performance lightweight mountain bike frame featuring the patented IsoTruss carbon fiber and Kevlar spider web-like open lattice tube design. The high performance hardtail bike frame is handcrafted in the United States and weighs only 2.74 pounds. The Arantix is an extreme hardtail mountain bike with an unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio resulting in an ultra stiff and responsive bike.

I love the color too, unfortunately it is a test saddle and can't stay on my bike forever.

What i REALLLLLLLYY want this summer:

I'm sorry. I should scan the pics of the Santa Cruz frames that I ripped the bottom bracket shells out of. The first one put me in the hospital, 14 stitches in my knee. The second one lasted a whole 6 months before I ripped the bottom bracket shell out leaving a stop light across from the bike shop I used to work at. I didn't go down. The third again only lasted about 6 months and failed leaving a different stoplight on my way to school.

Santa Cruz is a made in China mass marketed pile of crap. All of them from the top of the line to the bottom. I wouldn't ride one for love nor money.
