i went to work after class today.. lo and behold, my new frame/parts/etc was there!

kickin ass and bustin heads at the punk rock show man. Love those Surly frames I do.

here's what it looks like right now. the only difference betwen the photo and it's actual appearance are the pedals. i finally spent some time to get my SPDs off my old bike and put em on, but that was after the photo was taken.

this thing is a BLAST to ride. i haven't felt this good about a bike in quite some time.

Sweet setup man!


A surly 1x1 frame is the next thing on my list.

if i can save up enough $ before i get laid off at the end of the summer i'm gonna pick up a 1x1 also. i need to make use of being able to get things at wholesale cost while i can! :)

Beautiful ride!!!!:beer: :beer:

Whats up w/the steer tube sticking up though?

Tiny!!!

man, and i thought MY handlebars were low :)

kickin' ride, enjoy it.

thanks man..

the steer tube.. well, i didnt want to cut it too short and find out i wanted the bars higher. once i get the bars where i'm comfortable i'll take off the excess, if any.

well, i'm a short guy, what can i say.

like i said, i'm still tryin to find my comfy spot. i raised em up a little tonight, we'll see how things feel tomorrow. odds are they're gonna stay pretty low.

Hehe, fore said short. LOL

you lost me man. is that the secret word of the day or something?
