This one has been a long time coming, but its finally finished just in time for summer cruising around england.
Let me introduce you all to the boss.
Skulls Super Irie Surly Long Haul Trucker “Deluxe”
Unlike Skulls Retro nightmare townie the Boss is comprised of all NEW top shelf components.
The Boss is equipped with the following.
Surly LHT deluxe frame (What make it deluxe is the s&s couplers under the inner-tubes so I can brake it in two and pack it into a non oversize flight case or soft bag).
Racks are Surly.

Thompson x4 stem with coloured faceplate upgrade.
Chris King Rasta Dreadset with Chris king Headset spacers.

Shimano 9speed cassette.
Tyres are Halo 2.3 Twin-rail.
Sks Cromoplastic mudguards.
Paul Moto Vbrakes and 2 tone Love levers (modded by swapping silver levers out with jammys black ones)

Mechs are Microshift Marvo XE Limited coloured edition.
Rasta Cranks are Raceface Atlas AM with Blackspire outer and middle rings shimano inner. Running on a Chris King external BB.

Rear wheel is Chris King classic hub laced to Mavic 217 Ceramic, sapim spokes.
Front wheel is Son Schmidt 28 deluxe dynamo hub laced to Mavic 217 ceramic it powers my Schmidt edelux front light and my Supernova E3 rear light (with a joiner at the S&S, thanks Jammy)
It also powers my Tout terrain Plug 2 USB top-cap which can charge your ipod/phone/GPS or any other usb device while you ride! Making sure you always got some irie tunes jammin.
Peep the mesmerizing reggae pics below.
Damn this things an rasta eyefull.
Oh well keep irie dudes
Peace love skulls.
once again, it’s blowing my mind.
can you build a pina colada bike next?
Will have to be a some “beaters” next to keep my bank balance irie. But you know me some more retarded bikes must be over the horizon.
im sooo jealous of this bike,maybe add some revenge grips and bong holder?
Great rasta ride, nice work Skull’s.
Skullz does it again. streaking ahead of the pack with a deft balance of style and quality. sweet, sweet build, mad propz.
Mean bike bro.
Thanks dudes, this thing is even more pimp than the condor, but should get used 1000x more. need some camping gear now. Ti spork and drill out my toothbrush etc…
It was small enough to get into all the small hard-to-clean places.
When the head of your electric toothbrush needs to be replaced you only need to buy a new head for the electric toothbrush.
The other thing I find annoying is the lack of a counter stand to hold the electric toothbrush.
Hey man, firstly i wanna say fucking wicked build! And Bob Marley decals are sweet. Ok I’m building something similar to this minus the awesome decals and I was wondering if you could tell me where you got the top USB spacer from and how you routed the cabling to in and to the rear light please.
Thanks Paul
Sorry for the terrible grammer
