Sunshine

I am running out of puns on suns, but here are some final pictures of the refurbished Sun bike. It looked shiny, and almost as-new, when I picked it up from the Commonwheel Project on June, 28th. Since then it has accumulated quite a bit of dirt, but I have dug up a few old photos from the tour to Tyndrum I did with a few friends of mine shortly after.

But so far the bike has served me well, with the help of my panniers I have even moved large pieces and the odd shopping home. And generally it is the best thing to get around, even in a not-so-bike-friendly city, like Glasgow. But this holds also true.

Green Sun Racer leaned against a wall, mountain bike behind it Ready for the tour, with panniers and tent. Badge: Sun Birmingham For simplicity, the badge is fixated by silicone and nail heads are used to replicate the original look.

If you are curious, where the name Tamaghis comes from, it originates from a song by the German band Tied & Tickled Trio.
