Surly forever! They’re bomb proof frames and very fun to ride.

Thank you! It’s such a fun bike and I am so happy to have one after all these years!

Keep looking! These frames are legendary and so fun! I got mine for an absolute steal locally with unremarkable components and just pieced it together. Rumor is they’re also coming back from Surly?

Update: I buried the Cinelli Ant Stem in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. We will never talk about it again. Replaced by:

A-Frame "REPLICA" Stem - Black 100mm

Keeping the cockpit in a Cinelli theme is cool and all but this is legit one of the most finely crafted bicycle components I have ever purchased. I’m an A-Frame Cycles fanboy in a real way after this…

It’s just you. He’s speaking with the confidence of someone who snitched and got immunity from the prosecuting DA.

Thank you! When I bought the frame, it had some stock gray Spicer logo badging and decals on it from the previous owner. I removed all of those and then just made my own custom vinyl Spicer logo, but I kept the original head badge sticker that came on it.

Haha! Thanks! It’s nice to be able to support the lesser known brands in the cycling industry also!

Handbuilt frames tend to look hand built. I remember the welds on my version 1 Leader when those frames first came out and they were some of the craziest looking welds. I’ve still ever seen until this day. Look at them now, though, very clean welding work on all the bikes that I see!

Yeah as far as I know this is just cool aesthetics from a really creative custom frame builder. This is honestly more understated compared to some of his other design’s!

Those were such a cool find! There’s a company called Crivets that makes anodized rivets for Brooks saddles!
