I'm thinking about building up a Surly Pacer this year.
Does anyone have one? If so, how do you find it and what kind of equipment did you build it with? I'm thinking silver Veloce groupset, but not sure about wheels.
I'm thinking I'd need £1,000
My logic is that I love the feel/fit/ride of my Steamroller, so a geared bike that is closely related would suit me well. I figure it would be good for commuting and long rides but not so sprightly for 20k triathlon dashes. At my venerable age I probably shouldn't worry too much about a few extra pounds frame weight :0)
Or should I be looking for an aluminum or carbon OTP that's lighter and will cost a few hundred quid less?
Thanks
