Surly

[Catrin]

I just had an interesting conversation with Surly. I just had, I thought, a simple question for them - an idea what the 46cm Long Haul Trucker Complete build weighs. Seemed an easy question to me, and I was surprised when the woman I was talking with laughed when I asked

First she said that she wasn't surprised that I couldn't find the information, because Surly does make certain information hard to find. She wasn't able to answer my question, but did tell me the frame and fork weigh 3,320 grams. Not pounds, not even ounces, but grams (frame = 2,300 and fork = 1,020) I do realize that grams are considered a more precise measurement, but I wasn't expecting it

She did confirm that it may well weigh less than my Trek 7.6, or the same, but not more. I guess that when I think of steel, I am thinking of an old heavy bike I saw years ago - steel frames have changed greatly since then!

17 days and counting before I can order my beautiful blue Long Haul Trucker
