Re:

That's a great looking bike.

It's not a brand I've ever seen a great deal of over here in the UK. Their components are sold by a few of the online retailers, but the frames a re harder to come by.

Not sure why though, 'cos they look nicely put together.

Re:

Looks sweet bud. Superb frames. How are you enjoying it? Have a Samurai65 myself.

Originally I thought mine was built by Chris DeKerf but it turns out they're only painted by him and he only makes the Surface from scratch. Mine was made by Mike Truelove. Regardless of who built it the lads at Chromag have hit the nail on the head with these bikes. The Wideangle won a test in singletrack magazine not too long ago as well plus there's a very complementary review of the Surface somewhere which as i'm sure you know is your bikes twin.

Truth is its the best bike I've ever ridden. Faithful Chromag rider now. This is my fifth one. Great old school bikes with a new school twist if that makes sense.

Re:

5?! Lucky man. Which other ones have you had?

2013 Stylus and Aperture. 2015 stylus and Aperture. Fun bikes. Sadly I think 26 might be over for me after 26 years.
