Surly is a company outside of the Twin Cities that offers a line of steel frame/fork pairings that covers the spoke spectrum from single speed to urban utility. This model, the Pacer, is their road bike. However, here you see the smaller 650b wheels used. Actually, most of the components were recycled from a vintage Raleigh touring bike. The handlebar/brake setup is entirely custom and makes use of triathlon-style areo levers with cables routed through custom internal pathways. The grips are cork and match the visual of my broken-in Brooks saddle.
The ride is a very surprizing combination of comfort and speed and the look is very satisfying.
