Here is Stig in all his commuting glory-



I hope the chains isn't...........

This is the flat spotted washer bodge I did to overcome the too long chainring bolts



The original 42 tooth chainring looks sweet (IMHO)



OK chainline (straight in, no spacers or fiddling with the wheel)



The business end

Pretty good chainline too.

Brave (or confident) man to post a pic from that angle :)

I've posted it elsewhere, but for completeness' sake here is my winter mile eater.
Tange double butted frame courtesy of SJS - think it cost me £60 or so 10 years ago.  Shimano RSX chainset, 7 speed cassette, RSX hubs, MA2 wheels currently wearing 700x28C Paselas; Deore rear and RSX front mechs; Dura Ace downtube shifters; Cinelli bars and stem; Shimano "aero" brake levers and 105 brakes.  Rolls Saddle, SKS 'guards, and M520 pedals to finish.

Although it cost me very little compared to other bikes that might lurk in these pages, it's passably light, very comfortable, and a reliable performer no matter what crud is thrown at it.  It is also utterly silent in action, in surprising contrast to every other bike I've ridden that seems to make some kind of noise somewhere - be it just the tyres on the tarmac.  There's also much to be said for simplicity (7 speed and DT shifters).

Very kind of you, Butterfly.  It's also filthy and rusty.  The advantage of poor indoor photography.  :D

My new Rockhopper SL





My first bike with suspension. I gave it a brief ride across the common on the way home from the shop, first impressions are great. Handled really well on the packed snow although I had to walk for about 20 yards because teh rear wheel was just spinning.

I'll only now use my one bike that has standard pedals. I can only produce so much adrenaline.  ;D

I go for the double sided option with wrap around reflector. Much easier to pick up on a fixie (not that this one is fixed)
