WANTED: Surly LHT or Similar

    Hey,

    I'm on my way to retiring my old trusty Super Galaxy and looking for something good to replace it with. Been thinking of a Surly Long Haul Trucker, preferably Disc but not necessarily. Complete or frame.

    Also open to other quality steel frames, around 56-58cm.

    Thanks,

    K

    I recently built my touring/do-it-all bike on the Intec M5 frame. It rides beautifully and handles big loads with grace.

    Powder coated, cromo steel, classic geo, discs, clearance for 2.35in tyres - what else would you want? ;)

    (There also canti / vbrake frame versions)

    if you can get your hands on one of these, they're reynolds 631 and the clearance will allow for 27.5 x 2" builds if that floats your boat. I've got a 56cm but not selling (at least not right now)

    I've an on one inbred 29er fitted with 2" slicks, not drop bar but could fit with bar ends, tri extensions for differing hand placements. Size 18"
    Don't want to sell really but €600 would loosen my grip if interested. Mostly new/ nearly new.
    trouble is finding carriers that work with MTB disc frames, if light touring then bikepacking bags

    might keep an eye out for a marin nicasio too, my nephew got one a few years back, very versatile too, frame is out of Malaysia so not tippy top in quality. I broke it down fitted 27.5 x 50mm tyres and it's a little thug go anywhere machine.
