A significant win!

Here's an adjusted pic so we can admire the winners:

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Well done Streak and the family. After visiting the shop you can see their passion and care for their customers. One of them even gave me their vest to look at on a cold wet day. Now that's commitment.
