    Spot is a 2009 Spot Rocker - hand made in Colorado. I didn’t like the low gearing on the belt drive, switched to chain. Didn’t like the dodgy suspension fork, switched to a surly bridge club fork. Really like how she rides - smooth and fun.

    This was out on the Trafton trail north of Seattle - a railroad grade gravel path. Tons of fun!

      Everything about this bike is so amazing! Is your headlight run off of a dynamo hub?!?

      I’ve never heard of Spot bikes…are they still around? Was the bike originally a single speed or did you modify it?

      Thank you for sharing!

      Surly 24 pack. It’s pretty good, but I wish they handled (at least one of) the braze ons a bit differently.
