A New Project???
Now that the Surly Pugsley is built I am looking for a new bicycle projcet.
Pugsley at Taylor Mountain
I road the pugsley to work today. It was my first commute of 2010. I debated whether I should take the my Kronan City Bike for the commute. I decided on the Pugsley to show it off to my engineer colleagues.
Back to the Kronan… When I purchased it I was really hoping to have enough funds to get an Azor Mechanic 108 from The Dutch Bicycling Company.
By the time I talked to the folks at DBC they had stopped selling Azor but could build a Mechanic 108 using a Velobris Churchill. I settled on the Kronan as a substitute mostly due to price… but now that the Pug is build I am thinking of a Kronan remake. The wheels are unbelievably heavy and untrue… I hate the saddle and the handlebars. Rebuild wheels, new tires, Nitto All Rounder bars, and a Brooks saddle should about do it…
