Wanted: Touring Bike (or Frame + Fork), reliable, not too spenny for trip to USA!

As mentioned in title, looking for a trusty steed to take me along the west coast of USA (Eugene > San Fran).

Needs to be about 54-56cm frame. Not wanting to spend lots of money on it (also have some spare parts ready if need to build up something).

Many thanks

What size

What is your budget?

^ as mentioned 54-56cm, don't want to spend over 250, or 100 for frame. Cheers

Let me know what parts you need if building from scratch got plenty of touring type components i’d Let go for nothing [brakes,cassettes,random mechs/shifters depending on age ,and speed needed]also a cpl of stunning routes either down the middle inland or down the coast,cheers Stef

@cake is selling a 56cm Surly Straggler frame set. Sounds like a good deal to me.
