This is my commuter bike that gets me to work every day. My commute is about 15 miles each way, so it's very important to have a reliable bicycle. This bike is a Fuji Touring that I built from frameset up. It has a very strong cromoly frame, and super-durable Velocity Dyad wheels. The frame on this bike is a Fuji Touring, and was pretty scratched up when I got it since the last owner had used it for cyclocross racing. My build has more of a touring / commuting / utility bike character. Despite the surface scratches, it is a solid, heavy-duty frame made of cromoly 4130 steel. This Fuji is a true touring bike and it excels at hauling weight. I wouldn't hesitate to ride it across the U.S (or anywhere else for that matter). Since the original finish of the bike had been damaged before I bought it, I didn't mind adding some red spray paint to 'uglify' it to make theft less likely (I lock this bicycle to bike racks all over Chicago...). Check out my video walkthrough of this bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttD9ItdL9To Ultimate commuter bike Recorded with GoPro Hero 2 camera. I was using a special clamp for the GoPro, which allowed me to attach the camera to weird places around the bike. These are some of the components: Fuji Touring, Elios 2 Cromoly frame Dura Ace bar end shifters Velocity Dyad rims DT Swiss Competition spokes 2.0/1.8 Shimano Deore XT hubs Schwalbe Marathon tires Brooks Champion Flyer saddle Tubus Logo rear rack Generic aluminum front racks Update: I recently bought and installed Velo Orange safety skewers to add some extra security to the wheels. It makes it a little more comforting to bike to work knowing that my wheels won't get stolen if I forget to bring my cable lock. I'll make another video about the Velo Orange skewers.
