Surly Big Dummy 2018

I built this bike last summer and put a lot of miles on it allready. I first got interested when i saw Charlie the bikemonger riding his Big Dummy on a camptrip, i was sold then. After searching for a Surly dealer in Holland, i even thought of travelling to Charlie to buy one, i found Jelle from JustPedal.nl and contacted him for a green big dummy, but they where sold out in xl size. So i had to chose between black or a new unknown colour, and of course i went for the new colour, hoping it would not be pink sparkle. I got the Maroon and it is fantastic, allmost a matt finish, perfect for a utility bike.
