My commuter is awesome. It's an ugly steel 90's mtb with a super steep rise stem and swept handlebars. 3x7 drivetrain, rack and fenders, dyno with lights front and rear - and last but not least, equipped with a bell. found 26 x 1.5" tires spin up quickly and are just right. I love this bike and nobody wants it because I simply taped my electric wiring on the tubes so it's extra ugly. It rides so nicely, fits perfectly and I'm not worried about parking it anywhere in Paris. Just not overnight.

I did a similar build a couple of years ago, but single speed, under the impression of a nice 'cheap-ish' custom build. Carbon Force 1 cranks, King headset, Compass tires and Thompson finishing kit later I'd gone way over budget, disliked how heavy and wobbly the frameset was, found the drop outs WAY too much of a faff to line up the rear disks and then binned it over the handlebars when the front rack slipped (my fault when fitting). I eventually hated the whole bike with a passion. On the plus side, it was the 1st bike I built up myself which was fun and fulfilled a childhood dream of having a King headset fitted. Just thought I'd offer an alternate view. Enjoy the bike!

I live where snow and ice are issues (along with salt on the roads). I went with an aluminum frame to avoid rust. Mudguards, internal gears, belt drive and dynamo are pretty important. I read some comments about roller brakes. I have never found them to be great stoppers. Hydraulic discs are the answer. I wouldn't see this setup for much off-roading, however.

That is absolutely nothing like my dream city bike. I'd aim for maximum comfort, minimum maintenance. So we'd start off with an upright seating position on a sprung faux leather saddle and rounded handlebars. A step through frame wouldn't go amiss. We'd move on to weather proof internal hub gears and a full chain guard which protects myself as much as the bike. The brakes would also be internal drum brakes (roller brakes) to minimise maintenance and protect from weather. Speaking of weather, we'd have metal mudguards and maybe even a coat guard. Tyres would have to be puncture resistant or altogether puncture proof so likely Marathon Plus with slime tubes or Tannus airless tyres. No city bike is complete without low maintenance lights which has to mean dynamo hub or e-bike battery powered lights. If we're going the e-bike route, a mid drive high torque motor would be great as well as a 300-500Wh battery from a reputable brand. Finally, storage would be on front and rear racks and roll top weatherproof bags. This bike wouldn't win any races but it'd be damn good for getting around a city without any fuss.
@brianshannon6642

If anyone wants to see a bike like this, check out the Cortina E-U4 "ladies" version with roller brakes (there is a colour suitable for men). You would just need to add a coat guard (sold separately) and Tannus tyres. There are a couple of important reasons to choose step through (or "ladies") versions. First, these bikes will last. They may even outlast you. You may find yourself needing to transport kids with it and good luck getting your leg over a men's version with a kid on the back. Second, God forbid, but the bike may be easier to use should you suffer a collision or permanent disability or share your bike with someone who has. A lot of these "Dutch" e-bikes come with hydraulic rim brakes. This, in my opinion, is the single worst engineering decision for any bike. It will ruin your wheels by design and they'll need to be replaced. Go for drum brakes or hydraulic disc brakes (available on some Batavus bikes like the E-Go) If you want British made and non electric, I'd look no further than the Pashley Roadster Sovereign.

I rebuilt a 1995 Gary Fisher Montarre($700.oo retail). I bought it on CL for $200.oo. The bike was hardly used. I had it powder coated from the Navy blue to a medium purple. The headset is a Tange/Sekei. The brakes are Tectro frame mounted cantilever brakes. BIG improvement from the original angel wing design. Crankset is a Specialized Forged (bought used on Ebay). Rear wheel was fine but I had purchased a vintage Regina (Italy) solid body freewheel but came to see that the original was a cassette so after 5 years I wanted to put the Regina to good use so I had to buy a new wheel. Weinman double wall with a large body hub. Generic stuff but solid enough. Dimension Arc Bars on the original 120 or 150 mm stem. I replaced the original 42 teeth front ring with a Willow 46. Just using one ring up front times 7 on the Regina. Kept the original Sun Tour rear derailluer. . I ended up spending as much as the original retail price. I could have painted it myself for $20.oo but -I would have had to spray it outside in the FL heat. (I know -just an excuse). OK - I justified it as a birthday present. The bike can be classified as a gravel bike except for the narrow range 12 to 19 tooth gearing on the back. I have a 34 tooth ring to add to the front if I ever find some trails.

Just a random build question - If you had the ability to choose whatever you wanted for a commuter why would you opt for a front rack before a rear pannier rack system? Seems to me that the only benefit would be you could easier accommodate wider/flatter loads like a pizza box w/ a 6 pack at the cost of steering, aero (not that important but it's there) and making the bike a little front heavy so might be slightly easier to endo if forced to emergency stop w/ those powerful brakes when loaded.
@GrahamAtDesk

I've been running front loads on the Straggler for a few years now, and I really enjoy it. I came from a strong culture of rear panniers, and would always choose to put commuting gear on the front over a rear rack. I prefer the handling. Low trail isn't required for a stable front load (though it is nice). I'm a fan of a 137 basket on mine. Great for taking shopping bags or unusual loads, and takes a waterproof bag (that's designed to fit) for all my commuting kit. The Porcelain Rocket bag is superb. No endo issues either.

I ride a commuter hybrid bike on a very hilly city so I try to keep it as lightweight as I can (€€€) while maintaining an aluminium frame (instead of carbon) and I need to have light gears so I'm pretty limited on max speed (8 speed 11x32 cassete with 30x46 on the front) and I use 700c carbon wheels with 23 road tires. Basically a budget custom hybrid/city bike. Still weighs 9.5 kg but I'm pretty happy with it. I'm tempted to try a one by for the simplicity but I'd be even more limited on both speed and light gears :\

What types of axles did you use? Are they just for security or do they add stiffness? I have constant problems running disc brakes with QR axles and am therefore hesitant to get a surly disc frame. Second question - Really short stem, yes? That doesn't make the reach too short, especially with the flat bars?

Nice job. Your 1x has an 11speed cassette 12-36. That's a lot of gears over a small range. Don't you find yourself forever clicking searching for the perfect gear? Simplicity implies fewer choices. 10 speed Microsoft AdventX or Shimano Tiagra would both be simpler, cheaper (esp AdventX) and deliver the ride you seek. Just an idea. Thanks and well done.

Ah man, this is amazing. I’m saving to have something just like this built for me by Stayer, I like the surly and the all-city frames but I’m not a fan of the weight! I’m also thinking of having a 1x mtb groupset on there, but I’m not sure if the ratio will be any good for the city.

Look at the Kona Dew. They pair a 42 tooth chainring with 10-51 Deore 12 speed cassette.

I was looking at a few on bikes direct, motobecane uno outcast pro, the cafe line, and I think one was a Strada 1by 10 or 11.

I really like your approach to this bike (in spite of many comments). One question, thou, if you would have selected an aluminum frame instead of steel, what would that be?
@cshawnb

Ze Aguero why would you want aluminum? Steel offers much better ride quality at a modest weight penalty.

Shawn, maybe ignorance. I’ve been riding bikes “formally” for almost 30 years. Im guessing steel from those years weren’t as good as now. My first bike was steel, maybe cheap one. Didn’t like that much. Second bike was aluminum, liked it better. Third bike was carbon. Fall in love with it, and actually still have it. I’m currently bike commuting to work. And for some time used the carbon road bike. Unfortunately roads in Costa Rica aren’t that good, so I’m using my mountain bike to avoid flats. Having said that, I’ve looking for options. A new carbon frame for bike commuting sounds a bit expensive, hence the question on the aluminum frame. As I have some parts around, wanted to build a new one and your built is similar to what I have in mind

Ze Aguero check out the All City Space Horse (steel) or the Bombtrack bikes (aluminum and steel). Other Surly options are great bikes too with bona fides.

Ze Aguero Salsa also make some very good bikes in aluminum, specifically the Fargo and Journeyman, in many different spec models to meet any budget. Quality steeds
