We Scandinavians seem to share similar taste in bikes 
Hey Boe, what size is that Cross Check in the pic?
Can't wait to get my new Midge, btw

Va kul!
Jag är i Stockholm just nu. Jag tror att jag ska få ett jobb inför jag lämna på lördag.
Nice pictures! I had no idea that you are organizing so many rides here in Stockholm. I met a fellow Chicagon last night who lives på Kungsholmen and he mentioned you. When I arrive with my bike at the end of July, I'll be sure to contact you then.
When I arrived on Sunday morning I saw a SS mountain biker around St. Erik's gatan. Was that you?

Thanks for the tips!
My schedule has been packed full with interviews and visiting my cousins and also that guy Mike from Chicago that I mentioned. If not now, I'll look for it in the summer. I've been meaning to explore Kungsholmen a bit.
Thanks again!

I picked up a nice orange pair on ebay a couple of weeks back. You might try a search there if you don't mind paying for shipping.
