I'm very glad to hear that! I was feeling guilty that I was burying the actual for sale post in my speculations. I hope they enjoy their tour on it. That's mostly what I've done with mine, and I have enjoyed it. On Fri, Oct 29, 2021 at 12:32 PM Andrew Huston < firsttolastinaninst...@gmail.com>

This topic is definitely interesting to me. I have a circa 2017 26" Disc Trucker, and I've been debating whether I should replace it with an Atlantis or maybe an Appaloosa. The input here is making it sound like I may not notice too much difference between my DT and either of those bikes, maybe I

This past August I purchased a 64cm Disc Trucker frameset, the newer version with thru-axles. I built it up with same handlebars, seatpost, seat, pedals, tires as my 62cm Sam Hillborne (2015 double TT). Surprisingly, the two weigh and ride quite similarly. Got the DT frameset to have a

The 54cm has the sought after 26" wheel size, and with a 56cm top tube, so fits a lot of riders. A NOS rim brake one is becoming a rare find. People almost always want to know what color it is though. Maybe a couple of photos with it partially unboxed would be a good idea. IanA Alberta Canada
