The most contentious element of bicycle design is (wait forit...trumpets, maestro) -- the stand!

I must say I consider a bicycle designed for adults without a stand to be a sign of incompetence. I simply don't believe the designers who retrospectively foam at the mouth and try to make out that not supplying mounting points for a stand is matter of principle; they're just trying to bluster away their oversight: "Well for f*ck's sake." -- official Surly response.


I must say I love those nuts at Surly ;-)

I used to love their Karate Monkey, a sort of Swiss Army Knife do-eveerythig, fit-everything bike.

But I grew up and moved on to sophisticated bikes.

And now that Surly are in supermarkets, they'll soon be too mainstream and dull for you.
