Surly Long Haul Trucker LHT Touring Bicycle
Frames, and Forks - all sizes - 700C or 26 inch wheel
(from
Tim Travis) This bike has won me over as the best entry level bike for the
money. Just over a $1,000 get a well thought out bike that can carry
you anywhere. We have seen these bike being ridden by numerous
nationalities in places from the endless flat roads in Kansas on Adventure
Cycling's Trans-America Trail to the remote rough gravel road of Tibet.
This is the touring bike that has set the bar for affordable comfort and
durability. The fact that ALL sizes now come with your choice of
26 inch or 700c
wheels makes this my #1 pick. As you move on to more advanced long distance tours the
Surly Long Haul Trucker LHT will be right there with you. I am always
excited to see new people get into bike tours and this is the bike that makes
those dreams come true.

(from Surly) If you want to carry a lot of stuff while riding your bike
long distances, you’d be hard pressed to find a better bike than the Long
Haul Trucker. It starts with the frame, whose custom drawn 4130 tubing and
geometry were specifically designed for loaded travel, low bottom bracket
for stability, long head tube, long stays, the whole thing. We added braze-ons
for everything you’re likely to need. We gave it parts that are durable and
long lasting, and ready to travel. Add racks, bags, fenders, what have you,
and go somewhere. This bike has been among our most popular models because
it’s a good value and a great riding bike. Oh, and it handles short
distances too.
We’re continuing to offer the LHT as we always have, with
26" wheels on the smaller sizes and 700c wheels on the larger frames.
New this year, we’re also offering 26" wheels for the larger frame
sizes too. Although many people (some of us included) like the ride
of 700c wheels, in many parts of the world 26" is a more popular size, so
you’ll be able to find replacement tubes, tires, and rims more easily should
the need arise. Smaller wheels are also stronger than their 700c
counterparts, so they’ll stand up better to rough roads and heavy loads.
Frames in both wheel sizes accommodate pretty big tires with mud and fender
clearance for a smooth ride.
