Surly Bike Owners

It's that new secret gravel bike they're working on code name GG.

its a repainted genesis vagabond

Sure it is

Frames have been sat with distributors for a while. Delays on some component for full builds or the like. Think it's due to be announced next week or the week after.

Geo and stuff should be out shortly but it's still long and low, even with that proper headtube. Classic Surly.

And there we go... https://surlybikes.com/bikes/ghost_grappler

@BareNecessities ' next bikepacking bike is here !

Who's stocking this frameset in the UK?

Woodscyclery in New Forest just posted a build on their instagram.

The headtube on that is longer than the seat tube of my 56 crosscheck.

Keep pedalling in Manchester

The reach seems REALLY long? Size Large - 444mm on the Surly, compared to 395mm on a Genesis Vagabond.

That looks great!

I'm going to get some mudguards for my Straggler. Has anyone tried to fit 55mm PDWs between the stays? Looks borderline to me.

I think I need to move my straggler 650b on (need to get a Brompton for work commute) ... its a small one (I'm 5'5").

Thought I'd post here in case anyone is interested...

Noooo.

Such a beaut. How much wold you be looking for it - I've got a couple of friends who would be interested.

Also potentially interested in this!

I know :(

@draughts and @samdaniel -- I need to think about price. It's got dynamo hub etc and I just need to decide if it will go with it or get a different wheelset. any preferences?

@r_mash PM’ed

In case anyone was wondering (and some of you probably were) YES, you can fit 36c tyres in a Pacer frame!

Awesome!

My Cross Check. Bars are almost level with saddle. I’m learning to embrace the spacer stack for off-road comfort.

I so wish they still made the Pacer. Yours looks great.
