Steal Me

So my previous Fuji Royale was stolen in February 2011 and that opened the door for me getting a new bike. The link to the Fuji is actually a little old, in its full glory I’d replaced the rear wheel, crankset, cut down the bars, and a few other minor tweaks.

I’d had my eye on Mission Bikes for a minute – I first heard of them when they were just starting up as the new kids on the SF custom bike scene. Years later I finally had an excuse to jump at it so I went to town. I had two concepts in mind, a “stealth” bike (100% matte black frame and components) and a “Black & Gold” concept. I think it’s kind of obvious from the pic which won out.
