    WTB: Juliana or Bronson

    Long time no post. I'm getting back into mountain biking. I've been borrowing a Santa Cruz Bronson but it's too big and plus, it's not mine. One taste of the good stuff and I can't get just anything....

    The artist is from my city and is very good. He gives daily updates to the cycling club via Facebook. Or at least he did before the kickstarter kicked in. Anyways, I really like his paintings.
