42 cm surly pacer road bike

Choice of rear cassettes as well - I had an 11 to 32 or 34 I used or an 11-23.

The 11-23 had nice tight spaces between the gears and made it really easy to find a good gear - and had me using the front triple more. The 11 to 32 or whatever it was (mountain bike cassette) was better for hills, but on flats it could be a hunt for a comfortable gear.

Wow. That is a nice bike. If I knew I was defiantly getting this new job, I'd be ALL over that, it's really nice.

Hummmmmmm... How much for a pint of blood these days??

Catboo, where do you live? Would like bike, but not shipping.

Can that bike take a rack and panniers? Fenders?
I am slightly interested, but not sure if it would fit any better than my Jamis. The dimensions are fine, though.

Pretty bike Not that I can buy another bike this year & it is too small for me anyway - but a pretty steel steed! Whoever gets her will love her, I am quite certain.

I live in Maryland. I haven't shipped a bike in the last couple years, so I don't know how much it costs lately. I have a couple bike boxes in the attic still though.

Yes, it can take a rack with panniers, definitely on the back. On the front you have to get a rack that clamps half way up the fork, I think.

It does have fender eyelets front and back - Fenders it can take as long as you stay under 700x28, I think. It can take 700x32 tires, but it won't fit a fender with that.

Well, you know I live nearby, so there would be no need to ship! Might be a bit small for me in terms of the standover (I'm 5'5"). The TT length is about perfect, though. Very tempting... I need a sturdy steed for wet pavement. I'd have to give away/sell one of my bikes...maybe my Lisa.

What's your inseam? You may end up with the seat jacked up over the handlebar height, which could be uncomfortable. We could put a higher angle stem on it - but that may not be enough.
