My buddy Jeff recently bought a Gravity Monster Pro from BikesDirect.com. He really likes it, but hated the color and wanted to upgrade it a bit. So his wife and I decided to surprise him with a bike makeover!
She bought him a new Surly Bud 4.8" front tire, leather grips, a new Brooks B17, and a Brooks seat bag. He always said he either wanted his bike bare aluminum or green, so I took the paint off of it, left the tubes bare, and painted the "lugs" green. He was super stoked when he saw it and completely surprised!
Here are the pics:

Now:
I love how the new 4.8 front tire makes the rear 4.0 look small!
Now he is looking for a new back tire, handlebars, and to go tubeless.
