Something odd is going on, maybe it’s because it’s finally nice out, or it’s friday. I dunno, is there some sort of solstice going on?

Why do I ask all these questions? Because today, while perusing the Velo Orange blog, I came across this Surly Long Haul Trucker:

I know my fellow Cycle Zine author William will hate me for this, but I’m not a huge fan of Surly. Actually, don’t much care for them. Not because they are poorly built or anything- infact, they are quite well made. Let’s just say they are not my cup of cocoa (I’d don’t like Tea). But the one above certainly changes my mind. Not only does it look cool, but it look FUN. I mean, there a few too many spacers, but no bike is perfect (unless it’s a Herse). Anyhow. Check it out and head over to Chris’ blog for some more sweet stuff and some really nice products.

Happy Friday.
