Anyway, this is my first bike in 24 yrs: A metallic green Surly Cross Check with Albatross bars, shellacked cork tape on both the handlebars and rear chainstay; SKS fenders with the new (Rivendell) Smythe mudflaps and a Light and Motion Vega lightÉ.running Pasela Panaracer 700x35Éthis is my wet weather daily commute bike (for now that is: next is the Rambouillet with matching orange fenders, painted lugged Nitto stem (frame is pinstriped)Éhope to have that baby ready next month.

Cheers
