This is a mad build

Very well considered build and nice matchy matchy. GLWS!

Ooof I saw this sold on eBay a while back and thought I wished I’d bought that! Since then though I’ve sort of filled that gap.

I’d absolutely love this but timing and cash flow not great…

I don't get how 183 can ride a 54
?!

i read on here these have a weird geo and long tt.

With Surlys you often go a size (or even two) smaller than you’d usually ride to get the TT and reach within comfort.

Very smart!! What's the total weight?Interested to know what carrying bikepacking luggage was like up hills, with the gear ratios, if you have done?

This is just lovely, what's your saddle height (from the centre of the saddle to centre of BB)?

Sorry - no idea on either of those questions 🤣

770mm
