Surly Disc Trucker -Redux

In an earlier post I talked about cable actuated disc brakes on the Long Haul Trucker.

Surly rolls out bikes in new colors each year (or so). They continue to sell bikes in the previous year’s colors until they are gone. For 2014 the new Disc Trucker color is burgundy. We just finished this bike for a customer:

The Surly front rack can be fined tune to clear the disc brake caliper and there is a special hole for the fender stays.
