                                    I needed a bicycle that would take me back to being 15 years  old, when I was smashing my S&M Challenger through trees and trails  and stairs and rails. I needed a bicycle that could pop me through  traffic and manual across the raised divider. I needed a bicycle nimble  and quick, sturdy and strong, and light enough to flick through the  streets. I needed a bicycle to get me to the booze store and back again  in comfort, something I could put miles on around town and still be able  to stand up straight afterwards. BMX wasn’t gonna cut it, nor big bikes  or a fixed bruiser, and trying to hack a Surly Steamroller into my  dream ride wasn’t working out. I needed a bicycle built for the city and  it needed to have *balls*, and there was nothing on the market  that even came close.
    

    Joshua and I sketched out the necessities and went to Marty Walsh, of Geekhouse Bikes, and said “we need you to build this super bike.” Marty said “I’ll build the bike, but let’s add all this other cool shit to it, too.”
    Please, now, read about my super bike.









    Marty Walsh’s through-the-triple-triangle internal brake cable routing. Nuts, totally nuts.
