Marketplace LHT before and after
Tad big, but it’s all day comfortable. Plus the price was too low to pass. It was a mess when I picked it up, trashed headset, broken F/D and a few other problems. Just about everything needed I had on hand.

Nice job. I saw no reason for the cable guides on the top tube so I drilled them out and had the housing go all the way through. Does anyone know why they did that? I get it from the old racing days where shortening cables saved a few ounces over all, but for a touring bike between handing the bike with panniers and putting it on the stand. I don't see it

Always been curious about surly but I doubt the geometry would work for me. Nice bike.
