• I built this a couple of years ago and spared no expense, but it has hardly been used this year and due to space issues, my next project means that I have to do one in/one out, and the Surly is on the hit list, as much as that pains me.

    I'll get some pictures up soon, but spec-wise we have:

    Blue 56cm frame with silver Chris King headset, Waxoyl'd internally and Heli-taped externally from day one, so frame looks as new.
    Hand built 26" Rigida Sputnik rims (from Spa Cycles) on 9 speed XT hubs with Marathon Plus tyres - brilliant and bombproof.

    XT rear mech/105 front mech and a 12-34 cassette and new KMC chain.
    The brake levers are Tektro v-brake levers and the shifters are Dura-Ace bar end shifters.
    The crankset is a Spa Cycles triple with TA chainrings. The Shimano UN55 bottom bracket was replaced earlier this year and has done under 100 miles.

    The saddle is a Brooks B17 and the handlebars and stem were changed when I did the bottom bracket, to Ritchey Classic wrapped in 3.2mm Likard Skins tape - still look like new obviously as they've also done under 100 miles.
    The brakes are XT V-brakes with upgraded Swissstop Greenstuff pads.

    The seatpost is also a Ritchey Classic, but there is not a lot of post showing, so I rubbed off the logo and it is now just plain, highly polished, which I think looks better.

    It will come with a Tubus rack fitted, but I can't remember what model that is off the top of my head.
    It has a lovely pair of Gilles Berthoud stainless mudguards fitted.

    The only negative thing and I do mean the ONLY negative thing, is that when applying the Heli-tape, the "Long Haul Trucker" logo on the top tube came off on one side, so I removed the logo's on both sides to keep things looking equal.
    There was also a logo on the chainstay that said "Fatties Fit Fine" which I removed on purpose, because it looked tacky.

    I am after £1000. The bike is in as new condition and is awesome! It is located in Royston, Hertfordshire.

  • Would you sell the frame, fork, and wheels separate?

  • What about pics? Thanks.
