Sabbath Silk Route project...

Some pictures of my newly completed custom build, a titanium Sabbath Silk Route. The full specification is provided below. It replaces a Surly LHT and will have its first outing to New Zealand in a few weeks time.

And here it is fully loaded on tour at Haast Pass, South Island, New Zealand. You can read the tour journal here and view the full tour album here.
