FInal Update: One last go before ebay, and to clarify, it comes with multiple options for stem/seat/seatpost to suit most sizes
Bike with all originally listed = £850
Bike with rack AND dyno' wheel/light but no luggage = £820
Bike with rack but NO dyno' wheel/light (original wheel supplied) and no luggage = £600
Update: 150 views and no bites must mean that either the price is too high or the combination is wrong. So..... new prices.
Bike with all originally listed = £900
Bike with rack AND dyno' wheel/light but no luggage = £850
Bike with rack but NO dyno' wheel/light (original wheel supplied) and no luggage = £650
Also, to reiterate, although pick-up is prefered, delivery within around a 20-30 mile radius could be arranged
I've come to the rather crushing realisation that I'm not a globe-trotting adventurer. I'm not even a commuter, and therefore the time has come to sell my Surly Disc Trucker to stop it taunting me that I can't even grow a tourer type beard.
Specs:
2013 Surly Disc Trucker 58 cm
Rear mech: SLX 9spd
Front mech: Sora
Chainset: I'm not actually sure but they work!
Brakes: Avid BB7 MTN
Brake Levers: Tektro
Bar-end shifters: Microshift
Rear wheel: XT hub, Alexrims Adventurer rim, 36h
Front wheel: SON 28 Dyno on H Plus Son Archetype, 32h (Built by Spa)
Tyres: Vittoria Voyager Hyper 38mm
Light: Edelux II
Saddle: Brooks B17 (brown)
Seatpost: On-One in-line
Stem and Saddle: Some sort of own brand 26mm clamp
Mudguards: SKS
Rack: Tubus Logo (Silver)
It was purchased from the Bicycle Doctor in Manchester and Strava is showing 1200 miles in total. It's on it's second chain which is showing no sign of stretch and sprockets/chainrings looking good for many more miles.
The dyno wheel was briefly used on a rim braked bike for one night ride which wore the black anodizing off the brake track but there is no wear to the actual surface, and has a total milelage of less that 300 miles. The light and wheel are what I will miss the most. Absolutely amazing.
Size wise, it's a smidge too small for me. I would say 5'10"-6'1" would be best. I have a few different stems and the original layback seatpost I can throw in on request. I also have a Selle Anatomica I can put with it. It's towards the end of its adjustment but the pruchaser is welcome to have it to see if it's their sort of thing. There is also the original front wheel which is XT hub on an Alexrim Adventurer. Price negotiable if required.
Along with the bike there's also the luggage.
2 x Ortlieb back-roller classic in o-so subtle orange
Ultimate 6 plus bar bag in black
The panniers have a few marks from where they have sat against the rack, though it has not damaged the surface of them at all. They have never been used in anger and have no smell to them.
The bar bag was used once. It currently has 1 key though hopefully i can find the other too. The cable was cut but with as much spare left as possible so refitting should be fine
I've um'ed and ah'ed about this for a week now. Looking on ebay I think £1000 for everything is a fair price, though if anyone thinks I'm way off the mark either way please let me know.
I would prefer to sell all together (although offers for bike on it's own are welcome) and pickup from Northwich in Cheshire is required. My car seats don't fold and I've no desire to courier it. If it's easily deliverable by train I would consider.
And now to the pics!
