After years of riding a Mountain Cycle San Andreas and loving it, it was time for a new ride. I built this bike to be a moden day San Andreas. It's light, does everything really well and it's super durable.

Saddle/Seatpost:
Tioga Spyder(very comfortable)/Thomson Masterpiece with Niner collar (old high school class mate ownes Niner, had to have a Niner part on there)

I wish I had a good fixed/SS roadie with bullhorns. That will be my next bike.
