Surly Long Haul Trucker

After the accident I thought it wise to upgrade to a more reliable bicycle.  Bicycle touring really appealed to me so I did some research on the net into the various bikes available.  After test riding a Trek 520, a Marin Muirwoods and a Surly Long Haul Trucker I decided that the Surly Long Haul Trucker worked best for me.  I bought the bike from the guys at Revolution Bike Shop on Blackwell Road and highly recommend them as they provided top notch service.  Here's some pictures of the new bike and the old.

Have a look at my Michigan Circle Tour blog post back in December of a tour I did with some friends from the Bike for Bibles ride to see the new bike in action.
