Bikes: 2009 Surly Steamroller, 19?? Fuji ?, 19?? Univega Viva Sport, Marin/Xtracycle combo

to be totally honest, i'd buy it for like $3 or $4. $8 seems a bit much for a patch. but that's just me. someone will love it and pay more for it.

I like the Steel Everything part, I just don't like that it's a patch. I'd buy a sticker...because I really do steal everything.

Good choice of font. It really conveys the "steelyness". I'll take a dozen!
