• Hi there
    For sale is my Beloved Surly Disc trucker in the better "Dark Green", this bike is amazing, commuting, loaded/light touring, gravel riding or just doing anything. I Will be very sad to see it go.
    I bought the frameset in late 2012 early 2013 from new, I will provide the reciept to the buyer. From new the frame tubes was waxoyled to prevent rust or corrosion so the frameset is in mint condition apart from the few external scratches which is expected. The geomotary can be found on the Surly website Here http://surlybikes.com/bikes/disc_trucker/geometry
    The frame was faced and chased both on the headtube and bottom bracket shell before building it up to the following spec.
    Mavic Open pro Hard anodised CD (grey) handbuilt onto Chris King ISO MTB Hubs with DT Competition DB Silver and Brass black Nipples. Front hub is LTD Pink and rear is Green. The hubs have been reguarly serviced with proper chris king lube, I have the tool to do this. The wheelset is suspended with marathon plus 32c tyres and schwalbe tubes (Presta) The wheels are held to the frame with Hope Gunsmoke Quick Releases.
    The cockpit is short and steep salsa cromo stem (TI Bolts) holding Salsa Bell lap bars. Dura ace 10 Speed Bar end shifters and Shimano Brake levers. All bar Taped with Black specialized Roubaix (Thin)
    Turning on a silky smooth Hope Gunsmoke Heaset. The stem has been left fairly long , around 50mm under and 40mm ontop.
    Driving the bike foward is a 10speed SLX m670 front mech and tripple 22/32/44 crankset (175mm) An SLX 9speed rear mech to work with 10speed shifters. KMX X10 chain (Changed recently)
    SLX 11-36 cassette.
    All cables changed recently so shifting is prime. The Bottom bracket is a custom hope stainless, RH cup red and LH cup blue.
    Stopping is taken care of Avid BB7 Road running 160mm rotors (Ti bolts) New pads recently. Cables new recently so levers feel sweet.
    Seating is comfortable with a brooks b17 in Green (reguarly proofided and never been wet) Held in the frame by a Hope eterntity seatpost (Ti bolts) clamped tight with a gunsmoke bolt up Hope seatclamp. All clean and greased.
    MISC: Bike has been run since new with Mudgaaurds (can sell with em on if buyers wants) so road water or mud has been kept well clear from vital parts. Handmade mudflap attached
    Pannier rack is on there also (Tortec Disc)
    The bike has been well cared for, always washed when muddy, lubed properly and dried, stored in a warm enviroment with a de-humidifier. I am the head mechanic at my local shop so I am not a mechanical numpty. I love this bike and has done me so well, it will live on and serve the purpose for its next owner. The frame decals have been removed after some started flaking and looking naff. Just cosmetic.
    I am in Hebden Bridge, West yorkshire. I would preffer collection or can post at the buyers expense. Open to viewing.test rides whenever. I am looking for a reasonable price for £1000 ONO I may be partial to splitting for parts if there is any interest.
    The only reason for selling is to get someting nippier and faster. This was bought for a planned tour that never happend.
    Please contact via phone, thats the most reliable way. No time wasters please, only if you're interested for real. Photo's are here on flikr.

  • Bump for seller. This is actually a reet bargain. Especially in comparison to Surly's own spec.

  • woulda bought if it was smaller :)

  • Sounds like just the bike I need to cycle across Central Asia & over to Indonesia on. Do you have panniers, dynamo etc? Unsure if at 6'2" it might be on the small size, even for a tourer.

    Let me check sizes & I'll get back to you.

  • Selling a bike for a grand, some better photos will probably help.
