New Surly Long Haul Trucker

I finally picked up my new Surly Long Haul Trucker from Spin Bike Shop. I'd been researching and put a custom build together, Spin got everything around and built it up for me (couldn't pass up the deal to build it - and I am short a few tools anyway).

Here's the build info:

Frame/Fork (framesaver'd): Surly Long Haul Trucker 56cm
Headset: Chris King Silver Sotto Vocce (looks like the regular King)
Bar: FSA Omega Compact
Stem: Thomson X4 31.8
Brake Levers: Cane Creek Drop V
Seatpost: Thomson Elite
Saddle: Brooks B17 Standard - Antique Brown
Shifters: Dia Compe Bar ends from Velo-Orange
Front Der: Shimano 105
Rear Der: Ultegra 9sp
Cranks/BB: Ultegra
Brakes: Paul Components Motolite (drool) V Brake
Rims: Salsa Delgado Cross, 36h
Hubs: White Industries MI5, 36h
(wheelset built by Bryan at Spin, butted spokes, brass nipples)
Skewers: Salsa
Tires: Continental Contact 700x37
Finders: SKS P-45
Rack: Hebie (great price from Clever Cycles)
Bottle Cage: King Cage

Not exactly sure on pedals, may grab some new Time ATAC XS's, but will use an old pair for now. I don't have a functioning digital camera, so the iPhone will have to do for now.
















No more noodle madness, check out how the Paul's disconnects to remove the wheel! That piece with the hook connects to the top of the brake arm...sweet..
