Almost a year!

since i started this much forgotten blog about cycling to work.
In part this was becuase i was getting married and didn;t cycle all winter, and another that my bike was giving up the go.

So after 6 years of service the old Marin is in the garage in bits. Bring on the Shirly!
Khalil my bike macanic brother built me my first custom bike - and wow its gooOOod.

based on a Surly 1x1 frame and some rock shox Recon forks with a Rohloff Speedhub Gear system
its the best thing i've riden.

ok off to work.
