Well, here he is, my Berlin ride.  A Surly 1X1 I was going to call Mr. Snuffleupagus, as I thought he was orange, he’s not goddamit… So, i think ‘Monster Munch’ is his moniker for now.

Gazza, thanks for the prompt.

I was never sure about Bromptons, but something clicked recently… they’re so goddam useful. I need one.

But not this one, as I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s a beaut, but it’s also on the bay with a £1500 buy it now.

If you know me, then I’m sure you’ll agree I have a fairly unhealthy obsession with bikes. If you don’t know me, well… ummm… I’m obsessed with bikes. Not in a decked out in lycra sort of a way, I’m no weight weenie, I like different bikes.

So, I had decided to have a ‘Bike of the month’ feature, but there are far too many pretty things out there, so it’s going to be weekly.

First up is one the coolest things I’ve seen on Fixed Gear Gallery for quite some time.

Rick Huff’s Raleigh Twenty is a thing of beauty. If you’re not familiar with the Twenty, it’s a classic shopper, see below for how this bike looked at some stage in it’s life, I’m sure it’s a lot happier now…
