The kids had a day off school which meant I wasn’t obligated to drive anyone anywhere – at least during business hours – so I managed to load the Surly Disc Trucker up and squeeze in a rare commute to the office by bike. This always includes the requisite taking of photos.
Also managed to leave early enough to have time for a #coffeeoutside stop.
And of course, since the bike was in the office, and the sun was hitting it so nicely, I took a few photos of it as well.
Your C17 is in such better shape than mine. 🙂
I’ve hardly ridden mine. I’m sure yours is used due to plenty of use and love. That’s a good thing.
True enough. Mine is starting to get creaky though. Not sure how to fix it or if that means it’s almost time to replace. I’d rather not replace it…
They’ve got spare C17 parts on the Brooks site, so it would seem that they may be serviceable. There’s rivets and ‘casings’ which I think are the parts where the rails insert – possible squeaking there if they’re worn. They’ve got full rails too, so…I dunno. By the time you pay for product and/or shipping though might be as much as a new saddle. You could always write to them and see what they suggest.

Good idea, contacting them. Thanks!
