Matt Called It a 'Tank of a Bike in a City Trying Like Fuck to Rebuild Itself. It's Almost Poetic:

Otto, our trusty green Kronan has been in the shop since last July undergoing what has turned out to be almost a complete rebuild and mechanical resoration. We have been missing him alot, and Olga, our orange Kronan has missed her mate while he was undergoing such long-term surgery.

Want to know a secret? On the way home from work today- in about 10 minutes- I'm going to go pick up Otto from the shop... finally! Sine doesnt know this. I am anticipating that she will be quite amused by the presence of what is, hands down, our best bike... now in tip-top ridable shape!

So go get a Kronan, Matt! Give the old streets of Detroit a pounding!
