Surly "Irma" Long Haul Trucker

<-- Index | Showing 1-26 of 26 pictures | Index -->
I just changed the knobby mtb tire to a pair of Maxxis Overdrive 1.75 slicks, swap the 26 chainring to a 24 and the new setup of the cassette is 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 26, 32.

Her maiden voyage was last year's Oz outback.

For the first time since went back from Oz finally gave her a good wash the other day and rustprooffed the frame with boiled linseed oil mixed with white spirit, now waiting for it to dry and bring her back to life.
Great stuff: simple, lightweight, cheap and just beautiful

Was thinking getting Ultegra, but the LBS didn't have it. Nevertheless, if this one works fine than I'll just stick with it.
