Simon's Neutrino

Our manager and shop guy Simon decided to show off his Velo Orange Neutrino, an all-road (it's been tested) minivelo that fits well in an apartment. He also uses it as a winter bike, but suggests larger and heavier wheels if you need to deal with snow banks. 

As always, open images in a new tab to embiggen.

Your name and the bike's name:

Simon, and this one doesn't have a name yet. I'm taking suggestions as long as I don't have to hear "Nerd-trino" again.

Your favourite Montreal resto

Le Super Qualité

Your favourite shop tool

The TL-FC11 crank extractor from Shimano. You use it all the time, and it's the ultimate in functional, solid elegance... 

Your favourite meal

Ma Po Tofu, or Grandma Winnie's Ursulines chicken pot pie. 

Your favourite part on this bike?

The Surly mini-rack that magically transforms into a regular-sized rack on a Neutrino.
