Some years ago I built up Surly Long Haul Truckers for my adolescent daughters. Those daughters are now adults, and these bikes are in need of a new home. The black bike measures 20” from the center of the crank to the center of the seat cluster, the green one 19”. The fork steerers are uncut.
The builds are very Riv-ish. Sugino cranks, Deore rear derailers, VO Porteur bars, SunTour friction thumbshifters, Tektro Oryx brakes. One bike has XT hubs, the other XTR. Tubus Cargo rear racks fitted with Busch and Muller 4D Toplights, Nitto M12 front racks with baskets. Paul Gino light mounts on the forks. Now here’s the catch — even though a lot of these parts are valuable, I’m not really interested in holding out for top dollar. I’d rather see these bikes get used in support of some sort of cycling advocacy. There’s a local non-profit community bike shop where I could drop them off, no problem. But I also remember a time in my life when money was tight and I had young daughters that I wanted to introduce to biking. I’m wondering if any of you kindred spirits out there in Riv-land meet that description, and might be interested in working out some sort of deal for picking up one or both of these bikes on the cheap. Professional bargain hunters and/or eBay resellers need not apply — I reserve the right to be choosy.
