He is no Dummy, but his bike sure is!

Recently some of you may have seen my Facebook post about Nick's stolen Extracycle. The bad news is that his bicycle has still not been recovered. The good news however is that he now has a sweet new whip!
This is Nick with his newly acquired Surly Big Dummy. 
    The Big Dummy is Surly's version of the SUV. Built to haul many things that would otherwise be quite difficult if not impossible to carry on your average bicycle (not that any bicycle is average). It is long and sleek, you may think this extra length would make the Big Dummy harder to handle. Not the case the Dummy stays quite agile through turns, in fact it handled very well around the tight confines of the store when i took it for an initial spin. It sports Continental Town and Country tires on bombproof Salsa rims all laced to Deore hubs, making it perfect if you wanna hit a trail or two on the way home.
longer than your average bike!
Since Nick rides in all weather, fenders were a must
stock Shimano derailleur traded for a Sram X7
Sram grip shift and a Surly Open Bar to keep everything upright, comfortable, and dependable
Nick wanted a Deville Bomber longboard mounted on the back, so of course we obliged, looks pretty rad!
loaded!!
Nick also got the biggest lock I have ever seen to go with his Big Dummy, so this one will surely be quite safe for many years to come! We are glad that we could help get him back on the road, if you need help making your dream bike a reality you should definitely stop by and let us help.
