Oli's All-Day Endurance Surly

Open images in a new tab to embiggen

Oli's one of our lovely mechanics who mostly works at 75 Villeneuve W. He keeps this a bit close to the vest and I don't know why, but he's probably the one on our team who does the longest rides. Furthest rides would be hotly disputed, but the hours Oli puts on the saddle are impressive. The mess up at the cockpit is legit as heck too, it's what a bike winds up looking like after days and weeks of riding nonstop.
