What Was Once A Karate Monkey

This all started months ago during a long day of nothingness and the realization that I would not be returning to Baja this year. What would it be like to build a bike? I asked myself this after getting off my current bike that was almost 2 decades old. After hours and hours of research I decided on a Surly Karate Monkey. Well that all faded away once the back order process became months after months.

After all that and the melting of the snow I decided to go with an alternative. And then came the Soma Juice. I am definitely satisfied with this choice. After months of having all the components just sitting around I was happy to be partaking in building the bike that was just an idea a few months ago. Pink wasn't always my color but after scavenging craigslist for the best deals, What can you do?
