Specialized Langster (first generation one) SS road bike running a 48:17.
It's got a set of old SPD-R pedals on it, amazingly the shoes are still holding together but when they die I'll have to get new pedals as well cos you can't buy the cleats any more...

I'm on a F700 Dale, Recon Solo Airs, Deore/LX group, LX wheels, LX discs, Conti Mountain Kings. Picked it up out of the classifieds. Figured killing XT regularly was going to get expensive so a second bike was required.
5 miles off road down the canal. Way less dodgy than the road commute.

Old Man Mountain racks/Ortlieb panniers.
Old skool Ti-Inbred, RC31s, 700c Schwalbe Marathons, Hope Minis, Easton carbon bars n seatpost to take the sting out.
No mudguards, but love the closely fitted ones on hybrids/roadbikes.

Alu roadie (with drops of course). full slick tyres, haven't needed to change them yet (touch wood) and SPD's.
No need for mudguards I have waterproofs.

Brompton for shorter runs inc trains:
SS Road bike for longer runs:
SPD and mudguards essential in either case.

Drop bar ends (finding rohloff shifter friendly bars is a pain) and spds.

Mid 90's steel Marin Hybrid base bike.
Continental Supersport 32mm tyres.
Full mudguards and rack
Pannier
Lights
Flat pedals
Combination lockWill be changed to single speed when an expensive gears or wheels repair is required. Is also used as the pub/shopping/knocking about bike and does more miles than the MTB and Road Bike put together.

Here's mine. Marin Lucas Valley with Halo Aerorage wheels and Avid SD7s. Currently running 42/16, hoping to lose the tensioner at some point. Note the lack of mudguards you **** wusses

Currently my Cube LTD Race with flat bars and slicks. Rucsac as frame too small to use panniers properly. 7.5 miles each way.

I'm surprised you even have to ask.
In my case, it's a 140mm AM bike with gravity friendly geometry.
It's comfortable and works wonders for my fitness. My concession to conformity is the mandatory Charge Spoon saddle.

Genesis Skyline fixie (quite rare non-Ridgeback version)
Midge bars
Big fat 1/8" stainless steel chain and 17T EAI cog on a Goldtec hub, Gerbhadt 48T track ring.
Full length mudguards
Pannier rack
Approx 18 miles of quiet-ish roads every dayPossibly soon to be for sale cos I'm getting hankerings for a Singular Peregrine with an Alfine and Versa levers to cope with some higher mileage trips. If anyone's interested, my email is in my profile...

Raleigh Banana. Cost me £20 and it'll never get nicked.
TBH if I had cash, I'd buy something like a 24 speed Ridgeback with a nice dutch style riding position...
