Bicycles!

at the time, Surly didn't have many models. I would've been better served by a Long Haul Trucker, but this was my only option. Pretty tight wheelbase, so much so that I have a fair amount of toe overlap.

I had a Surly 1x1 about 25 years ago- cromo fork, Xt cantis and 2.5" downhill tyres- bent the fork and ovalized the head tube doing stair gaps in Toronto. Loved riding that bike, think I'll probably put together another single speed in the not too distant future

gotta say, I'm enjoying the hell outta being back in the bike biz!

Sounds somewhat familiar but I went the street route. This was my commuter for several years and was the first bike I assembled entirely from a hodgepodge of parts, including my introduction to lacing wheels. It was fun and productive learning. The bike has gone through a couple of different handlebar style iterations over the years.

I like Surly! This one makes me feel like a monster truck! (Slow and heavy!)

 

[Lorien]

wow- I love both your bikes! Respect!

Crash ? Or one of those irritating cracks that just had to be put out of its misery ?

I’m going to turn this into funds for a single speed trail beater

Look at the crank

starts with F, ends with 150

 

[Danke42]

I hope it wasn't you. That doesn't make it better but it would make it worse.

You ok ? Trucks hit hard

 

[Lorien]

oh no, not my bike- I just had to fix it. Poor kid ran over his own bike

 

[Danke42]

I know someone who did that with a D9 cat. You coulda slid the bike under a door.

I was hoping you were going to put it in a jig and re lay the carbon
