Review: Surly Long Haul Trucker

[Clare]

I don't post often,....well hardly at all,...but I like to read this forum for the great information and wisdom that comes from the awesome people on this site...

anyways...I Love my Long Haul Trucker!!!! I have a bike addiction problem. I have five bikes. Two of which I don't ride, one to eventually sell....( an extra small specialize sequoia espert) and a 1990's trek mountain bike. I also ride a specialize Ruby Expert and a Specialize full supension mtn bike. Now, the Ruby is light and so quick and responsive...BUT the LHT is so steady and COMFORTABLE. I am slower on the LHT but i feel, oh so much better riding my Surly Q (her name) than I do riding my Ruby. I think that maybe I should sell the Ruby, too.

So..just another good word for the Surly...this bike is one comfortable ride!

Hi All,
Ya'll are making me nuts! In a good way! I haven't even ridden one yet and I want one. I really, really want the LHT but I want the bigger wheels so I'm jonsing for the cross check. Actually, I'm obsessing about the cross check. I've already decided that I will make that bike fit if I have to!! Heck, I've hever even ridden a bike with drop handlebars before but I'm willing to learn...only on the cross check. I think I'm a little crazy about this. And thanks to whoever it was that mentioned they are sold in minneapolis. I have an uncle that lives in rochester, MN and I just might have to arrange to go visit him and have him take me to look at some surlys!!! Want surly will travel!!! hahaha

I have posted a few times about my LHT.... I love it! Just another vote in that direction... They are super fun (I actually likened the bike to my banana seat bike I had as a kid), and tough too
