The Steel Wool Update...

Abyss....
Sorry it has been so long...

Well we have been busy with the new bikes in the herd as well as deciding what (if anything) to add to our collection. Since the last time we talked, the Boy, Mum and I had purchased a Surly Big Dummy (review....not likely as there are thousands out there already that say the same thing), pictures to come. 

As this build went so well I decided to update the Steel Wool Tweed. I took off the racing bars, fancy wheels, and everything carbon. To this I added some nice Soma bars (the nice swept back kind), a new wheel set (Soma hubs and Ambrosio rims), a brass bell, single speed with Soma Cranks and an FSA chain ring. Needless to say it is pretty nice. I'll post pics Asap and add a further review. 

As for our other bikes, we are working on purchasing a Madsen Kg271 bucket bike for Mum to transport Boy around all day and trying to set up a family riding group in Victoria B.C. We'll keep you posted. 

Toodles for today.
