all good things must come to an end; that’s not me being negative, it’s a fact of our physical universe. it really is. the fact that my trusty nomad is being sent off to the big flow trail in the sky – or more likely a wall in my study – has more to do…
reincarnation.
organ donor is such a terrible description of what is about to happen here, even if it is technically correct. after six years it is time for one of the most iconic bikes ever made to be retired: i am about to replace my original 2015 nomad 3, painted in the unmistakable ‘miami vice’ colours,…
