It's a 56cm 2014 700c Surly Disc Trucker, and is the frame upon which I am going to build my new touring bike.
The planned components list is as follows:
- Deore M590 Crankset, 22-32-44, 175mm
- BB7 Brakes with 160mm rotors
- Cane Creek 40 headset
- Shimano XT RD-M771 rear derailleur
- Shimano Sora FD-3503 front derailleur
- Shimano XT 36 hole disc hubs front and back laced to Alex TD17 rims
- Shimano XT M770 9 speed cassette 11-34
- Tektro RL 520 brake levers
- Dura Ace 7700 bar end shifters
- On One Midge Handlebars
- Stem to be determined
- Continental Tour Ride + 32 tires
- KHS Saddle and post from Bertha
Accessories include:
- Tubus Ergo Front Rack
- Axiom Rainrunner Trekk+ disc fenders front and back
- Niterider Lumina 700 front light
- Niterider Solas rear light
- Topeak Road Morph pump
I have the rear wheel, cassette, saddle, handlebars, shifters, brake levers, derailleurs, and tires. The crank and headset have been ordered and the frame is waiting at the Bicycle Exchange so that those can be put on before I bring it home.
I am actually quite excited and anxious to get this built before August so I can begin equipping and tweaking it for a tentatively planned ride of Adventure Cycling's Underground Railroad route in October.
I'll post more about the build as it comes along.
Till then, Rubber down and stay safe.
