I‘ve been considering a Surly Troll with 26” wheels as adventure touring/commuter bike…but honestly, my Vaya does a great job at everything. Around town, touring, off road, etc. Stupid bike is causing me to not want/need another bike. What kind of dirty trick is that? I might try to improve the Vaya this winter….maybe add Woodchipper bars, bar ends, a new rear rack, etc?
As a side note, I lucked into a nice year old complete Ultegra group for $300 recently, so that might justify the need to build another road bike? Maybe a Litespeed Xicon?!?
