I'm not sure what the bar for "Built From Scratch" is... I used all off-the-shelf bits, incl frame.
Mebbe some day I'll learn how to framebuild.

Built from scratch is normally frame and all. I'll move it to builds.

 

[ingola]

Fixed.

Thanks for the adult supervision

Solid build, I bet that thing ROLLS!! Nothing but respect for Surly bikes.

PS I'm sammitch powered, I'd wager that Surly gets many miles per sammy
