Steamroller

Finally got around to ordering my brand new Surly Steamroller a week or so ago – picked it up and I love it. So much fun to ride.
She’s called Ellen, after my little sister:

but I’m calling it a win for me. Feels wrong to carry it over from 2007 when the whole point was that it was for 2007, so what the hell.
There’s always 2008, right? ;)
Totally helps if you’re actually good enough at what you enjoy doing to pull off making a living by doing it, but I’d totally encourage anyone who thinks they could do it to give it a try.
Once you have you’ll never want to waste your time working in another crappy, soul-destroying job again.
