Waiting on a Troll
Should be in the 817 this week, thanks to my favorite shop Trinity Bicycles. One of two that I have heard about. It's going to be a good one! That's right... I'm talking about the Surly Troll. I'm going to build a commuting machine from this frame, piece by piece as funds allow. The hardest part will be waiting to finish.

How are you going to address the risk of heel-pannier touchy with a short chainstay? Any thoughts on drop bars? Surly says the 260mm steerer tube leaves ample room to run a high flat stem (as opposed to some goofy 60 degree stem). Finally, what size did you get (and what size are you)?

Before I'm done, I'll be purchasing a trailer. I want to ride to work AND to gigs. Will probably just use a trunk bag. Not sure yet though. I'm building it one piece at a time. Riding my Monkey for now.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah... I'm 6' 3" and I got a 20.
