bicycle-talk: tonic fab

tonic fabrication is a small bicycle fab shop out of portland oregon. it's a couple of guys who are really in it for the love of the ride and have more than just a knack for quality and refinement. if you ride hard and like simplicity, it's an easy choice. read more on their site and see what they have to offer.

in any case since my surly suffered some damage some months ago, i decided it was a good time to upgrade and land on a bike that will fill my needs for a long, long time. i knew tonic fab could do that for me, and the supernaut was released at a perfect time. coming from bmx and mountain biking, this was a perfect choice for me as a street-track rig.
