Commuter bike finally as i want it.

Was out for a fun ride today on my bike. So decided to grab a couple of pics.

My bike is a Carrera Crossfire 2, i have had it for about 4 months and made some adjustments to it. Added mudguards and a pannier rack. Got a bag for the top of pannier rack for my two bike locks. And a couple of pannier bags. Only had the one atteched today to bring my waterproof stuff with me (rain can happen anytime). The other i bring when commuting for overnight shifts or shopping. Then a frame bag with spare tubes, punture repair kits and other bits. I have front and rear LED lights, rear is attached to pannier rack. Front attached to the frame. I kept the flat pedals, which i really like (very grippy). I shortened the handle bars by an inch on each side, removed the stock handlebar grips and replaced em with some MTB grips. I added bar end grips to give me more hand positions for long rides. And finally i replaced the stock tyres with Continental Contact Urban tyres 700c x 35.

The bike is now a complete pleasure to ride. Getting up 25 miles on fun rides.
