It is indeed. Considering it's age he'd taken great care of it so i felt a little shit about damaging the paint. If i ever come to sell it i'll give it a proper coat of paint and make sure it stays in the forum!
Rode it 10 miles a day for ten years, always locked up outside the office, serviced by me twice a year. Surlys are indestructible man. Glad to see it in the family. I was on the brink of powder coating it, glad I didn’t, it would have been far too shiny for your taste!
Looks good.
Is that the frame sharkstar was selling? If so, I briefly owned that. nice to see it still going.
