Mines done over 35,000km and its still being used regularly, in fact i did the weekly shop on it tonight and lugged it all home in a trailer. What a beast and a bulletproof multfunctional tourer. Sad to see its production end but I suppose 26" wheels are a dying species.

And rim brakes, RIP LHT & Pack Rat. Does the Pack Rat win the dubious distinction of being the shortest lived Surly?

Re: End of the Troll
And its the "new" one as well. As the fat bike market has returned to just being Surly & Salsa again (or so it seems) I'm surprised that the expedition model wasn't the last man standing. Perhaps the trail geo of the other two aren't a barrier to traipsing into the wilderness?

Maybe not... And the discussions on geometry in the other threads here make me wonder if a Wednesday is worth a try as a bikepacker...

Always remember lusting after one of these in Alf Jones Cycles! Looked vaguely exciting in the flesh in the yellow and the silly sized tyres
