Second build in my mid life crisis of getting back into riding and couldn’t be happier. Would really like to throw an A Frame Cycles titanium front rack at some point for functionality and bling but this bike is VERY fun on nasty streets and Surly just rules! Alpina crankset gave me better clearance on this frame than Omniums would’ve and feels very similar in terms of stiffness.
