My new Tricross Comp in Richmond Park.





Ugly looking with the test pedals but I'm about to install PD-M520 soon[/img]

You trumped me with that one Acideraser....

Lovely bike.

Thanks Stuww, but it probably picture quality, not the bike lol
However because of carbon seatstays I'm worried abt using panier rack with it - you don't have such a problem. btw, the only reason stopped me from Tricross sport was the gear ratio of the cassette - not what I was looking for. Otherwise - Sport is very very good bike for commuting and almost as light as Comp.

This is my commuter - a Carrera Vanquish:



Full-length rear mudguard, but no front mudguard as yet - I don't possess anything that'll trim the mudguard stays, y'see, and the front ones are so long they clip the down tube when you turn the wheel - obviously somewhat suboptimal, so I'm biding my time on that one.

As you've probably deduced from the brand, it was bought through Cycle2Work - I couldn't quite stretch to the Boardman Comp.

Try a cheap dremill type disc cutter. They work brilliantly and come in usefull at home!!!

My current commuting bike, a Claude Butler Roubaix Triple 2007. I rode it through last winter when the weather was good enough, for lighting had a hub dynamo built and mounted a Busch + Muller LED light and Schmidt light on the front and ran also a B+M tailight plus LED's where I thought I needed extra or just in case.

I major problems with mounting the front B+M light, in the end I took 2 reflector brackets and strapped the light to them using cable ties, and used cable ties to secure the brackets to the oversize bars. Looked totally weird but did a few thousand km after mounting like that with no problems, other than a pain if I had a flat and wanted to upend the bike.



My other road bike, a Dawes Audax Supreme 2008. Have used it to get to work a number of times, but prefer to use it for sunday rides when the steel frame is a lot more comfortable on the lower quality country roads.

The front forks have mounting points for luggage racks, I've tried and testing mounting Schmidt E6 lights on these using a long hex bolt with a nut as packing, will use 2 or 3 such lights with my hub dynamo this winter, fingers crossed will work OK.

Did everything right there and no pretty pictures? Could someone advise...
