Surly touring frame

Good stuff, and I thought Surly mainly did trials stuff. Bought a lovely 47x56cm roadie frame at Petes this week. It' red, to make me go faster. See you out there soon... 😄

wandered into Peter Moore cycles today. he was building up a wicked (and
cool coloured drab olive green) Surly (cant remember exact name
dooooh!).

Probably the "Long Haul Trucker":

If you're after a tourer, have a look at a FUJI TOURING bike. They are
available in Australia and they cost around $1,600 with tiagra set-up at the
front and Deore at the back. Not the highest set-up but should do the job
very well.

I bought mine 2 months ago now and I'm very happy though I haven't done any
touring yet, I prefer to ride this much more than my mtb.

Touring bikes are quite expensive whichever brand you choose, and it took me
about 8 months to decide which one will be the best value for me. I compared
and compared many times over and Fuji touring won the comparison overall
from the Trek 520, Mongoose Ranndoneur, Cannondale and a few other Hybrid
types I looked at .Oh yeah, fuji also has 2 spoke holders on the left
chainstay, spare spokes included.

Cheeky Monkey Cycles in Sydney has them for sale as that's where I bought
mine , I don't know who else sells the Fuji Touring bike.

able to tell you where in your area you can look/buy one.

Hmmm... All 5 of my bikes (only 2 actually are going) are red. I'm
still really slow. What's with that?

obviously the wrong red! 😄

I see that Brunswick street cycles have one on the floor. They seem to
have more and more variety of stuff everyday.
