Jakob's Surly Dream Build

Jakob's Surly Dream Build

I'm happy. Because riding this bike makes me feel like a kid. Back then I would take my BMX or Fixie to just roll around town in the evening and enjoy the movement, the scenery and I would feel like an observer while not being part of whatever I was rolling through. I would do the same round over and over again and never get bored. My legs moving, my mind wandering. Coming home late and tired and happy and falling asleep with a last glimpse on my bike to then feel excited when I woke up the next day and saw it again. This is pure magic to me. I wish you this kind of bike too.
