From Surly:
Long Haul Trucker™ Frameset
A touring bike's job is to go the distance (and then
some), in relative comfort, while carrying you and
your gear. The Long Haul Trucker was designed
in all aspects to get you and your stuff to. . .
wherever. Its low bottom bracket and long
chainstays provide comfort and stability, and
those long stays increase heel clearance
when carrying packed panniers. We
gave it ample tire clearance for larger
tires (larger tires soak up a lot of road
static) with room for fenders too. The
frame's tubing is thicker-walled and
larger-diameter than standard road and
sport-touring frames, and this pre-tunes it for the
weight of cargo. And it's got braze-ons for everything you're likely to need, from
racks to water bottle cages to spare spokes.
Like all our frames, it's made of CroMoly steel. We like steel for a lot of reasons. Foremost
among them is the ride quality a well designed steel frame delivers. It doesn't hurt that
steel is relatively inexpensive, or that it is more easily repaired than aluminum, carbon fiber
or titanium. You'll probably never need to have the frame repaired, but if you do you're
more likely to find someone who can weld steel than someone who can weld TI or aluminum.
Repair carbon fiber? Good luck with that.
We offer the LHT as a frameset or as a complete bike. The 'Trucker is available in a 26"
wheel size across the size run, with an option for 700c in 56, 58, 60 and 62cm sizes. Some
people prefer the larger diameter 700c, and that's cool. 26" is a more popular size around
the world, however, so you'll more easily be able to find replacement tubes, tires, and rims
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.
The LHT complete is set up with quality parts meant for the purpose of this bike. Add racks,
fenders, pedals, and bags and then, well. . .go someplace.

Fine print: the front wheel needs to be replaced soon (though it is very ride-able now!), but the hub is still good if you want to build a custom wheel with it. I will be taking the Brooks saddle with me.
Thanks!
