I mentioned in another thread that I was in the process of a frame upgrade on my commuter. That upgrade is now finished. I have yet to post pictures of my commuter (I think) so here is before and after.

The original frame was a Surly Troll which will be for sale very soon. I believe it is a 20" but I might be mistaken. It also had SKS Fenders and a Hebie chain glider. In the photo I have my Surly Nice rear rack, I have a front as well in the same color. Those will go up for sale as well.



Since I only changed the frame I kept the Rohloff and SON Dynamo



Now the aftermath. Frame changed to an XL 7005 EX Plus from the German Company Velotraum. It's their full on touring frame with a 180 kg payload (including rider weight) I went with a tubus rear rack made specifically for Velotraum 26" frames as well as Velotraum's own fender kit. I also went ahead and had my Rohloff sent back to the factory for upgrade to Gates Carbon Drive. I moved up frame sizes after a professional fitting I had done after annoying back pain on long rides.
