Appreciate others' advice. To some extent, we cycle fanatics need buy a bike at least every five years? But, there are many votes that a Surly frame is worth an upgrade investment. High end components are like $1000? Maybe half the price of a new bike? Next question, can I really get my dream touring bike for around $2000. First step I guess is to go to a bike shop I trust and get an estimate on changing out components.
Basically, think I'd change out to more compatable wheel set for touring and the drive train and shifters.
