Hey there! JUS here.
First, I’d like to share a quote that recently resonated with me.
The other day, while I was in bed scrolling through my usual social media feeds and blogs,
I came across something written in a certain blogger’s post.
I’ll keep the name hidden, but apparently, when Kabuki actor "I-kawa AB-zo" got into an argument with his wife
and she asked him, "Why are you always so selfish?"
AB-zo reportedly shot back, "I’d appreciate it if you didn’t talk about my strengths as if they were weaknesses."
Legendary.
Seriously, much respect, AB-zo.
Ever since I read that article, I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment
to try saying that to my own wife,
but I just haven't been able to steer the conversation that way.
If I ever get the chance to use it and it’s something I can write about, I’ll let you know how she reacts.
Anyway, for now, take a look at this photo. ⬇️
Oh, man...
Oh nooo...
The SURLY logo is scratched and peeling off.
But don’t worry! SURLY frame logos aren’t painted on; they’re all decals!
"Wait, they're just stickers?" "They're not painted?" "They're going to peel off..."
Some people say things like that, but...
Yes, to be honest, since they are decals, they can get chipped over time
or from vigorous washing.
But is that really a weakness of SURLY?
No.
That is undoubtedly one of SURLY's strengths.
To borrow a phrase from AB-zo: "I’d appreciate it if you didn’t talk about SURLY’s strengths as if they were weaknesses."
Riding hard, getting it dirty, breaking it, fixing it, and riding it again.
That’s incredibly cool.
This bike is another example of one of those well-ridden, cool bikes.
This time, we received a request for a "little makeover" in the form of a decal change.
For most SURLY models, decals are sold individually just like this.
So, if you peel off the old ones cleanly (though even as decals, that can be pretty tough), you can renew that part as many times as you want.
Applying them is simple.
Just place the decal on the area where you’ve peeled off the old one, and pull off the film.
There! It’s back to life just like that!
This time, we changed the originally white decal to black!
We replaced the grips with new ones, and it's complete!
Just by refreshing the logo, it looks so clean you wouldn't believe it's a bike that's been ridden for years!
While this job was just a decal and grip replacement,
we highly recommend doing a decal swap along with an overhaul for the best results.
Overhaul from ¥16,000
We look forward to hearing from you.
