And now, back to the regularly scheduled programming…<\/p>\n

Today, I’m writing about my very first Surly build. That is correct, this is my first time, owning a Surly bike.<\/p>\n

My bike history goes…Fairweather Track<\/a>\u2192All-city spacehorse<\/a>\u2192AFFINITY lopro<\/a>\u2192shamyhillborne<\/a>\u2192etc…
\nLooking at my previous bikes gives me the same feel when I look at graduation books. It’s a bit embarrassing to be honest.<\/p>\n

I had the FW track before I started working at Blue Lug. Most of the parts were bought from my senpai from the school I went to. I remember building it up by my own, when I still didn’t know most of the things I currently know. Great times, it almost makes me emotional.<\/p>\n

After I joined the Blue Lug crew, I bought the All-City Space Horse. My colleges kept on telling me that I should ride something completely different from what I have ridden in the past, so I chose this disc brake bike and built it up with drop bars and hydraulic brakes.<\/p>\n

I went on bike tours, rode off road and went to many events with this bike. It’s a bike that opened up new doors for me. I have more stories, but I’ll keep it at that and move on. I will say that there are parts that I still use which are in these builds, which is pretty crazy.<\/p>\n
