Hello party people,

it's the time of the year again that I'm browsing for new a new bike. Right now I'm looking into the Surly Straggler that I'd like to build as a classic randonneur. Is anyone familiar with the straggler? I've never had a Surly before; the midnight special looks also nice.

My Ritchey Timberwolf. I bought it new in 1985. I’ve made a few changes over the years. But the frame, crank set, brakes, seat post, derailleurs and head set are all original - as is the hite-rite.

I was gonna pick up the 634-XHS, but I got this baby instead

Got a new single speed bike and flipped the rear wheel from cassette to fixie mode. Let the torture begin! I love spinning so being able to do it outside this summer is going to be epic.

Did 49 miles on the Bishop Single Speed in yesterdays Bikes & Beer ride out of Birdsmouth Brewery. What a fun day

Bought my wife a cargo e-bike yesterday and she bought me the short version. This gives us all the flexibility we need to explore and do errands with the whole family. My shortie can come with us on road trips, using the bike rack.

I just received the most beautifully crafted leather saddle second hand. I do not really have the right bike to put it on, it's a narrow racy saddle. I might have to build a bike around it .

That's a lovely saddle. I think aesthetically it needs a steel frame, fairly minimalist bike to go with it.

I'd never venture into any other frame material <3.

Well, maybe for the fork.

This is what happens when you pair the most hideous seat post ever made by man with with moste aesthetically pleasing saddle:

Oui ️!

That saddle even has an id number. It’s probably worth more the my bike frame .

@Moty I love it! Are you racing as well?

Ever notice that people on bicycles are usually smiling? Ever see someone smiling while running? Me either.
