My Surly Cross Check
So here's my big, goofy Surly Cross Check (AKA 'Willie', AKA 'the dump truck') in its current mild-mannered Schwinn Suburban winter mode. It's a 62cm 2010 model. I bought it as a complete bike minus the wheels and put on my Mavic Open Pros with Ultegra hubs. Other doo-dads include MKS Touring pedals, Power Grip pedal straps (great around town), Planet Bike fenders, Spooky CX brakes with green SwisStop Rat pads, a Thomson Elite stem, a Brooks B-17 saddle and the pièce de résistance, an old school Ringle Mojo front brake peace sign cable hanger.
Since I took this picture, I have added a set of 35c Schwalbe Marathon tires. I have also gotten an Ultegra 6500 2x9 drivetrain which I will probably wait to put on until next spring when the weather gets nice. When that happens, I ditch the fenders and replace the tires with 25c Continental Gatorskins. I know an Ultegra drivetrain and skinny-ish roadie tires is kind of a goofy build for a Cross Check but one of the cool things about Surlys is they are such versatile bikes, they kinda lend themselves to bicycicular self-expression. They can be just about whatever you want them to be!
Montagne's Commuter Bike
I custom built this bike during the summer of 2007 with Jerry, the owner of Rainbow Jersey Bicycles located in Shorewood, Wisconsin USA. I learned quite a bit from this experience and made many mistakes during the process. I originally designed this bike with an XtraCycle attachment, and that was a total disaster so we went back to a traditional style build.
I really like this bike. It is a solid blend between comfort, speed, durability, and commuter necessity. My roundtrip commute is about 22 miles each day, and this bike works out great for me. I hope this gives you a few ideas to consider if you are thinking about designing your own commuter bike.
Oh, one final thing. Total cost was around $1200 USD.
