Pre-Surly--Ratty looking touring bike with some nice parts on her (mpls in Minneapolis, MN

64cm Fuji touring bike for the taller gentleman. Someone has repainted the frame, but that doesnt stop it from being an awesome touring bike. High-quality, Japanese made... The parts on this bike are either brand new, or choice vintage cuts. Sexy, Suntour bar end shifters. Fork is a brand new Surly Cross Check fork, with all the touring mounts, including mid-blade mounts. It is 1" threadless. Has a brand new moustash bar on it, equipped with a full touring kit-- Brand new Cane Creek dummy levers, brand new Tektro brake levers, and a brand new Headset. Brand new Fisik bar tape. Brand new Contential tires. The drivetrain is composed of a brand new Shimano bottom bracket, a Japan made Sugino triple touring crank, a brand new chain, and a brand new Shimano freewheel (6x3=18 speed). High-end, all-alloy Suntour Cyclone front and rear derailleurs are kind of rare, especially in this beautiful of condition. Suntour XC LTD cantilever brakes are super strong, and were only equipped on the highest end bikes back when they were new. These brakes are nicer than many new brakes being produced today- plus there is the vintage cool factor with them... The wheels are built on Shimano 105 hubs with double wall alloy hoops for strength. Top it all off with a vintage Selle San Marco suede saddle made in Italy. All in all, a ton of work went into this bike. Touring bikes are hard to find, especially in very tall and very small models... This bike is trikkkkkkkkk. Mostly a new bike with exception of the patina-ed frame. Essentially a Surly Long Haul Trucker for about 1/2-1/3 the cost of a new trucker right here.
