My Refreshed Surly Cross-Check
This is my 2012 Surly Cross-Check. It needed fresh powder coat, but I took the opportunity as an excuse for a whole new build. Everything is new/NOS stuff that I painstakingly tracked down over the last several months. I have some SimWorks Smooth fenders and a Tubus Tara Stainless front rack still on the way.
