Shimano Sora 3x9 STI
Shimano Alivio FCT4060 crankset 48x36x26t
Shimano Sora R3030 front derailleur
Shimano Alivio M4000 rear derailleur
Shimano Alivio or another 9 speed cassette with gearing you want
various 9 speed chain

A Sora triple FD works perfectly fine with an MTB crank with trekking gearing like the one listed.
Im pretty sure the spec above is standard on Surly DT and Trek 520.
