I hope the environment appreciates how much a pain building this bike was...

There were 2 areas on the rim where the wheel was dented in some and the rim was bent out on either side. We managed to flatten out the rim, the wheel's true... it's not quite round, but I'll ride it for a while to see how it does.

I don't see anyone selling the rim I have - it's a 622x19 rim that's pretty burly, seems to be a european company. I emailed the place on ebay that I bought the wheel from on ebay to see if they had any extra rims.

The bf thought I'd've snapped any other rim in half.

At the beach this weekend, I found sunglasses to go with my surly. I'm set now.

I do. It hasn't thrown me off in a while. It's got soma sparrow handlebars on it now. I love the bike, I just wish the top tube was about 20 cms longer.

They are perfect. It's a sign, a portent, an omen. You can never get rid of the Flaming Surly.

I told you that about your mariposa, then your fickle heart chose Miss Plum.

Ocassionally, I think about selling the surly - but it's a bit too fun still. I may have to get a custom black frame to replace the surly frame someday With the right size top tube.

But I'll update the thread with the surly as it is now and I'll have to get pics of me riding the bike with the sunglasses.
