    Hah.. That's two people (other than me) on these forums who work in the same place as me.

    I'm sure there must be more as well :)

    Beard yes, haven't graduated to the giddy hights of sandal wearing yet. But rest assured, when I do get there I will still be wearing socks ;)

    rontana, whats with all the spacers then? Your arms must be straight out in front of you when you ride.

    I guessed it would be a Thorn before I even opened the topic...

    Oh.. Oh man!! If you put the duck on the back you could put in some high powered red leds for his eyes..! :shock: 8)

    its quite an upright ride, but arms are still 45 degrees to the ground, due to long legs and reasonably high bottom bracket the saddle isn't that far below the level of the handlebars

    worth pointing out that it is also the largest sized sterling frame that thorn sell

    How cool is it to have someone else post a shot of your commuter!

    Could start a thread for 'Other People's Rides', see how many we can identify before being arrested for bike stalking...

    Also loving the duck, might have to steal that idea!

    How did you even manage to find a fork with a steerer that long?

    [Edit] Oh, and yes, I also love the rubber ducky [/Edit]

    SJSC will do pretty much anything you want, a lot of their bikes come with long steerers, always better to have too much than too little... ;)

    Aaaaah brilliant! :D

    Damn it, I wish I'd had that idea. Why am I so uncreative?
