NEW BIKE! NEW BIKE! NEW BIKE!

Well, a new frame anyhow.

I picked up my new Kona Major One from Seibold's shop this afternoon. They just moved the running gear over from the Surly Crosscheck frame that I busted a little while back. So the running gear isn't great and will be getting upgraded with time. But the ride...
I rode it around the block a few times.... the ride is awful sweet. Scandium is the bomb.

It may be my B cross bike - which rarely comes out - and may roll at Reston if the weather is crap, but I think its main job for now is going to be daily beater for winter training rides and commuting. The Rig. It's a little light for a rig, a little sweet... but it's a cross bike, and will be run in gnarly fixie mode for the next 3-4 months, so I think we can forgive it some prettyness. Particularly once I put on the Bike Eyebrows, the full rig fenders. Yeah, I'm going to do the Full Sheldon this winter...

You broke the Cross Check? As the owner of one that gets ridden hard, and put away wet, that gives me pause. Any love from Surly? Bummer.

You deserve a new rig, what with all the extra work and stuff you've been doing. Nothing puts steam in the stride like a new ride!!
