Monster

In a purchase justified by bike rationalisation and the sale of my previous cross bike, I now have a lovely brown Surly Cross Check. This has been built up in a more utilitarian manner than my previous bike, ridden to work and around the Lincolnshire countryside and down a few bridleways.

I saw an ad for some cheap 29er tyres a few weeks ago, and after a bit of research got them. The bike has now become a bit of a monster truck. Just took it out for a pootle round my local loop and it rolls straight over all the ruts, bumps and tractor tyre marks.

Big grin on my return.
