Have I mentioned...

How small the Travelers Check gets for shipping? Fits nicely in a 26x26x10 box. Cool stuff

Surly Traveler Check. Complete

This is it. The Brooks saddle and tape really look great. The black Rival components will be reliable. And the Velocity wheels will travel thousands of miles with little trouble.

Surly Travelers Check. Specced and ready to build

Been working with a guy on a commuter / traveling bike. This is what we came up with.
Good durable components(SRAM Rival) on a frame that folds in half (couplers).
Not in this picture: Brooks honey saddle & bar tape & wheels (to be built)
More pictures to come as build progresses
