Rivendell Joe Appaloosa morning ride

Dave's new Surly needed a shake down ride. Good enough excuse to mount up Hi-Ho Silver Joe and go for a morning trot.
Silver Joe is a 58cm double top tube Appaloosa that has a bent headtube and a replacement fork. It has been adequately repaired and is set up with trigger shifters so that friends can more easily borrow it.
Location: Western Australia, trails around Mundaring Weir.
Handlebar: Nitto Bullmoose tig-welded variant of the Rivendell bar that I purchased from Blue Lug many years ago.

Clunking through the stratosphere!

I can feel the back relief from the geometry of those bars.

Great content. Your skin colored gloves are tripping me out though lol. Like why are his hands so wrinkly?

[@brendonoid6133]
