The OTP Surly Straggler comes with a 36/46 chainset and 11-32t cassette, I'm thinking about just getting the f&f then building one up myself, should I try and match that gear range?

Planned use is commuting, light touring, light off road.

If you're not touring the alps, with 4 full panniers and the kitchen sink, that'll give you enough range. I'm running 32/42 and 11-28 (8 speed) low enough at the bottom end, nice shifting at the front and I conserve energy by coasting down hills.

Thanks, I'll try and match that.
