I did many of my long distance rides solo, but riding on Machak I felt like I was riding with a very good friend.

Sadly ....... Machak was stolen on Easter Sunday, just over a month ago. I haven't felt the same since. I feel like a very good friend has died.


Rowan has built me a new bicycle which is a very nice bicycle, and I have ridden that bicycle for about 60 km now and it has a great ride and is very comfortable. I will likely bond with that bicycle at some point. I'm just having some trouble bonding right now.
I hope you are able to get your old bike back, even if you ride the new one more.
Can you tell somethings about the bike you liked and post some pictures.
