That lovely.

Bit of a shame about the lights battery hogging the bottle cage / running all the way along the top tube. I've got no better suggestions though.

Good looking useful bike. Very nice .

The lights on the saddle, are they cable tied on? My Smarts need separating and drying out after getting wet to get them to turn off sometimes.

May well have been mine!
Here it is on my LEJOG last month:
Few things changed since then mind.
Good bikes, Surly's, I had a Crosscheck before this but had to sell it as it was too big

no , just held on with the back clip through saddle hole , they do have a thin cable tie round the body of the light because ive lost a couple going over bumps in the past and been left with just the backplate ! If thats makes sense

Same as mine !!

Had it a couple of months and loving it. Treated it to a black Brooks and a Carradice Barley at the weekend. The only thing i don't like are the 37mm tyres which seem enormous, but i suppose come in handy on a rough commute, and the Surly website says that the frame will take a pump, i can't see where.

Other than that, lovely bike.

the pump runs underneath across the top tube the is a little peg a front to hold it in place.
