The Steed


For all you curious folks, here is a list of some of the stuff I'll be taking across the country:

The bike: 2013 Surly Disc Trucker 62 cm
The racks: Front & rear Surly Nice Racks
The fenders: Velo Orange Stainless
Front panniers: Arkel Dolphin 40L
Rear panniers: Arkel Dolphin 48L
Handlebar bag: Arkel, Large
Saddle: Brooks B17 (Vintage Brown)
Pedals: Shimano A520
Pump: Topeak Road Morph
Computer: Cateye Strata Wireless (who needs more wires?)

Some of the camping gear:

Tent: LL Bean Microlight FS2 & Footprint
Bag: Eastern Mountain Sports Mountain Light 35, Long
Bag Liner: Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme Thermolite
Pad: Big Agnes Q-Core XL
Stove: Jetboil Sol Ti

The bike with the racks and fenders weighs approximately 42 lbs. With everything loaded, I'll be pedaling roughly 115 lbs across the country. "More weight, more fun," right Brian?
