  • I've just purchased this Surly Straggler frameset and I need to build it up. :)

    As my only geared bike, I want to make it a good all rounder. It'll be used mainly for a 20mi round commute each day but I hope to do the occasional spot of microadventuring or even a bit of single track (with a few tweaks to the setup).

    I'm thinking of the following spec as its main setup - all black, of course:

    • Groupset: 105 or Apex (34/50 11-32ish)
    • Brakes: HY/RD disc
    • Bars: Salsa Cowbells
    • Luggage: Soma Porteur front rack
    • Wheels: H+SON Archetype to Novatec D041SB / D042SB
    • Tyres: 28c Panaracer Pasala
    • Mudguards: SKS Longboard 45mm

    I need to find a nice seatpost/stem combo that offers 10mm setback post and 100mm ~8deg stem.

    If anyone has any feedback or recommendations for this build then I'm all ears!
