Introducing...

...my bike. We're going to spend a lot of time together in the next few weeks.


For you bike geeks out there: it's a Surly Cross-Check 54cm frame with Alex rims, 105 aero levers, 8-spd XT derailleurs, an ultegra 43/53 crankset, 12-34 sram cassette, some kind of generic SPD pedals, and dura-ace bar-end shifters. Oh, and a Brooks saddle, in which I have become a serious believer.

The panniers are Arkel Sakaroos, made with generous helpings of Canadian pride. I actually managed to fit everything, including a campstove, tent, sleeping bag, pad, and 4 days of food, into these things. They apparently kick ass.

Photographed just off of Hines Drive, near Warren Ave, in suburban Detroit.
