Surly Long Haul Trucker Frameset

Surly offers the LHT in 13 sizes and two colors; which is a large number of varieties to keep in stock.  Since we can get these frames from out supplier on a days notice, we get them in to order.  Our suppliers inventory is fairly consistent but varies, so get us a call to check on availability and get an order started.

When Surly first introduced the Long Haul Trucker frameset, there weren’t a lot of true touring bikes left. Sure, there were bikes with some features that true touring bikes share, like a low bottom bracket and long chainstays, but there weren’t many options designed from the ground up to be used for actual long distance bicycle touring.

The Long Haul Trucker answers the call. It’s got a low BB and the long stays, ample tire and fender clearance, and mounts for everything from fenders to racks to extra spokes. Plus the frame tubing is thicker walled and larger diameter than, say, our Cross-Check, and this pre-tunes it for carrying cargo weight. It’s stable, comfortable and fun to ride, even fully loaded with gear.

Surly is continuing to offer the LHT as they always have, with 26" wheels on the smaller sizes and 700c wheels on the larger frames.  New this year, they are also offering 26" wheels for the larger frame sizes too. Although many people like the ride of 700c wheels, in many parts of the world 26" is the more common size, so you’ll be able to find replacement tubes, tires, and rims more easily 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.  Frames in both wheel sizes accommodate pretty big tires with mud and fender clearance for a smooth ride.
