If that's it, they somehow forgot to list my silver colored bike.

There's lots of bikes in Japan with this basic shape and feel. I'll take a look tomorrow; don't feel like getting all the way up out of my chair, walking to the door, opening the door, and using a flashlight :p.

I know, I'm lazy...

An update on my bike; The drop bars were way too low, the bikes a tad big for me, so I got some $5 riser bars. I really, really, need to chop at least 2 inches off each side which I'll do tomorrow. And the reused bar tape will be gone tomorrow as well.

EDIT: Some new pics of the bike with the new bars.

This thing is my main method of transportation, combined with my own two feet and the local train line. But mainly, I ride my bike everywhere, and even haul my groceries home on it.

In fact, I don't even own a car! Yeah!! :p Gas? What gas? Insurance? Don't know what you're talking about! Maintenance? OK, you got me there. I had to buy another set of $2.50 brake pads since last year's were worn out.

Hehe...

Rub it in. I'd like to ride my bike to work, but I'd be riding down some country roads with no shoulder at 5-6 in the morning. In some fairly heavy traffic. Scary.

Just picked this baby up today! Hybrid, aluminum frame, 20''. Color's called Fathom Duotone (couldn't tell if I liked it at first, but it looks great in person).

My GT with my old GPS solution... TomTom BT receiver and a PDA in my pocket :D

And yes, i'm currently using Oasis as my drink of choice, mainly because my proper bike bottles got a bit melted in a pan fire a year or so ago, and i haven't got around to buying a new one :rolleyes:

Built up a new commuter bike for the girlfriend. I coulda sworn I already posted this, but I guess not. Pake frame (again), but this time a C'Mute frame. Pretty nice, actually. The reflectors are on the spokes, and only show up with direct light on them (or camera flash, as in this instance).

Bike is in storage right now, so I can't take a picture of it, but this is the bike nonetheless:

Only difference is I changed the seatpost, saddle, and brakes.

Mine is filthy right now, so you get a stock photo. Diamondback Response Sport 2005 model. I need a new one.

I have fallen in love with that frame. Where did you get that? Online somewhere or in person?

I went back and found the other one you had posted. It looks amazing. I've been looking for a new bike for a while now, and think I might end up doing my own single-speed.

This is what I try to ride, pretty quick. My pic is too big I guess.

I got this from http://www.somafab.com. Soma doesn't actually make this frame, Pake got started by some ex-employees, but they sell them online for them. Both frames are nice, but a bit on the heavier side. YOu may want to look into a Double-Cross as a pricier but maybe higher-quality alternative, or an IRO if you're thinking track frame. But I'm very happy with my Pakes!
