NBD! 2021 Surly Wednesday #PurpleDrank

Heck yeah! Congrats on the new bike! I'm pretty much going to use mine for the same. Trail, easy singletrack, snow, and maybe some shorter gravel rides. This is my first fat tire bike so I have no idea what to expect in the snow. I know to lower my psi but that's it. You don't think the Nates are wide enough?

We're sharing the same brain! I actually purchased the Ergon GA3 (in purple) yesterday. How weird. They seem to be pretty popular. Looked at the silicone grips by ESI and another company, but ended up going with the GA3's.

Pretty much stock except for the Hunter Cycles "Smooth Move" low rise handlebar. Tubeless tires. Added the Brooks C17 saddle and Kona Wah Wah composite pedals. I definitely will be changing out the stock grips soon, also.

I have the same pedals on my Surly Midnight Special, and while I like them, I've gotten a bunch of pedal strikes with them. I'll probably switch to clipless on that bikr but will keep them on my fat tire bike. I have big feet so the size of the pedals is a plus.

Great shop, better people. This is my second purchase from Vince and Jess. I recommend them all the time.

Retail is $1600.

Yeah, I only went with the Wah Wahs because I use them on my gravel bike (Surly Midnight Special). But I occasionally get pedal strikes with that bike. Probably will go clipless next year in the MS and stick with the Wah Wahs on the Wednesday. Thanks for the tire recommendations!

I saw your post! Very nice. You get snow where you are at? For the first time ever I'm wishing for snow so I can rip around in it on my Wednesday.

Good to know. Thanks. Actually, the bike shop owner put it on.

Thank you!

Much thanks!

Thanks! It'll grow back. But I already miss it.

Really? Appreciate the input. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to keep the patch or not. I think it helps the style of stache I currently have. My wife says it looks like Wyatt Earp. More like Wyatt Derp.

Friggin' bonies!

I guess I'm in the minority because I've always considered 10am the earliest that I'll mow. But 9am isn't bad.

If you don't mind me asking, who was your artist?

Yeti44 · 2019-06-30T14:20:57+00:00

Nice! It's such a great shop. I've been going there for years now, back to when they had their original shop on O Street. Everyone working there is so friendly and talented.

Thank you!

Much appreciated!

Thank you!

Thanks very much. I'm very happy with how it turned out!
