It's a powder coat. The shop kind of ****ed up when they did it -- there is some minor pitting on the head tube and such, but they didn't charge me. The frame is a 58cm, the fork is a chrome track fork. Chris King headset, nitto jaguar stem, nitto 021 bullhorns, specialized trispoke, schwalbe stelvio tires, dura ace seat post, selle laser saddle, truvativ omnium cranks, level hub to deep v rim, gr-9 pedals, fit alpha straps, and mks clips.

^That GT is slick^
Here's an update of my BareKnuckle - new Charge Spoon saddle and 1/2 leather bar wrap. Sorry for the shadowy garage door pic:

Yeah, it took a while to locate a vendor that would sell overseas - there are no US distributors just yet. I contacted Charge Bikes directly and they sent me to Avon Valley Cyclery - enquiries.avc@btconnect.co.uk.
If you email them, they can explain how to place an order - (they carry the saddles but don't have them listed as a product on their site.)
I was looking everywhere for a sporty-looking brown saddle that wasn't a Brooks. The white version is really gorgeous. Oh, and I love it - terribly comfortable for me.

My Surly CrossCheck, out on the ice / snow / mess. Good fun - 18"+ of frozen and refrozen snow and ice and footprints and ski tracks and a few bike tire tracks. Was a blast.

I posted up a few pages ago. Here's some updated ones. Swapped the bullhorns for a straight bar with imitation AME grips and an MX brake lever. Both oldschool BMX stuff. Also, my favorite mod was to flip the bottom bracket and the pedals from right to left and vice versa and then flip the track hub so I'm running my chain on the left side. It was a little gnarly the first time cuz I spun the rear cog loose about 1/4 turn even with the lock ring. Today I used red Loctite on both the cog and ring and am currently letting it dry. The red stuff is pretty much permanent so I should be good. Since I was a kid I always wondered why the gears were always on the right side. Anyone have an answer?
Hope you like

That Surly makes me want a cross bike.
How is the Dingle Cog (hihihi) working out with just one chainring? Do you switch gears often?
