Look at this colour from the 90ties. Todays bikes are so boring in colour.

Surly Straggler with MTB tires, a beatiful build

Check out this beatiful steel bike with a 700c frame from Surly.
It's Paul John‎ build.

It's a 700c frame. Rear is 700x43c, Front is 27.5x2.25
Higher volume front tire helps reduce road chatter especially if front loaded.


"This is the last batch of Straggler 700c geo that Surly made in size 46." - Paul John‎

XTR and chrome style ala alloy all over the place, nice.

White bottle holder

It's a stock Surly 'Front Rack'.


Rear is 700x43c, Front is 27.5x2.25

Soma flat bar with chrome.




White sadle and white bottle holder goes well with the purple colour.
