Kinda stock, kinda not.
This one started as a stock UK built bike – note that this is not the same as the US advertised spec. Y’see , somewhat confusing is the fact that the UK distributor also own Halo wheels, Gusset components and Genetic parts. So, sometimes it’s better value for them to spec their great components on to Surly frames rather than take the complete bike delivered from Taiwan.
This is the case with Stragglers, Karate Monkeys, Krampuses and more but not Disc Truckers for instance – if you have any questions re spec be sure to ask before making any decisions.
So, back to this fine looking Straggler. We gave it a bit of a makeover, replacing bars, stem and seatpost with silver ones and fitted a Brooks B17s Carved.
Some ace looking Portland Design Works metal fenders and a silver Tubus Fly rear rack.
We kept the SRAM rival 1x transmission, TRP Spyre brake calipers and Halo Vapour Stealth wheelset.
