CLOSEOUT ITEM!! (May not be available at all locations, while supplies last) People use touring bikes for many different kinds of riding; from fully loaded touring, to urban commuting, to upright and comfortable road riding. The 2012 Surly Long Haul Trucker 26 inch Touring Bike is therefore designed to accomplish many goals. People understand and appreciate the Long Haul Trucker's (LHT's) dependability and everyday riding comfort, whether they're cruising to the store or lost in the middle of nowhere. Why the Trucker? Simple. A touring bike's job is to go the distance and then some while carrying you and your gear, all in relative comfort. The Long Haul Trucker was designed to do exactly that. Its low bottom bracket and long chainstays provide comfort and stability. Surly gave it ample tire clearance for larger tires (larger tires soak up a lot of road static) with room for fenders too. The frame's tubing is thicker-walled and larger-diameter than standard road and sport-touring frames, and this pre-tunes it for the weight of cargo. And it's got all the braze-ons, from rack mounts to water bottle cage bosses to spare spoke holders. Like all of Surly's frames, it's made of CroMoly steel. They like steel for a lot of reasons, foremost among them the ride quality a well-designed steel frame delivers. It doesn't hurt that steel is relatively inexpensive, or that it is more easily repaired than aluminum, carbon fiber or titanium. You'll probably never need to have the frame repaired, but if you do you're more likely to find someone who can weld steel than someone who can weld ti or aluminum. Repair carbon fiber? Good luck with that. The updated fork design, with custom crown and dropouts has two sets of eyelets on the dropouts as well as at proper mid-blade height, and 5 x 0.8mm bosses built into the side of the crown. All this makes the fork compatible with most types of racks, and provides options of how you can mount racks and carry your stuff. The component group was chosen for its technical ability, durability, and value. This is stuff that works well on a fully loaded tourer, will last you a while, and won't shoot holes in your wallet. You'll add whatever you need to go where you want, like racks and fenders. Once you have that sorted, get out there and ride. And then when you get there, keep going. - Frame: 26 inch Wheeled 100% Surly 4130 CroMoly steel. Main triangle double-butted. TIG-welded
