Hi there biking community I'm new to this and am learning as much as I can about bike camping and touring as I'm doing a canada wide trip this spring with not much biking knowledge.
My question is is this a good deal for a 2010 surly long haul trucker .
With following equipment
Not pictured but included:
Front rack
Front fender
Studded tires for winter heroes
Last major tune and part replacement was in 2023 from Brockton. Updated parts:
Sram Chain PC-951 9 Speed Chain
Brooks Bar Tape
Shimano Sora Front Derailleur FD-R3030 3 x 9
Schwalbe Tires Marathon
Jagwire Shift Housing
Dimension 9 Speed Cassettes 11-28
The selling price is 1000$ is this a good deal and bike to use for long distance biking trips and as well worth it for the price.
Thanks
Any advice for biking canada would be appreciated as well.

Yeah. I’d buy that bike for that price. That thing is fucken sick.
Safe travels.
This might be the best bike for that kind of trip. At an excellent price.
Some people will hate the brakes, but I had no problem going through the Rockies with that.
You’ll want to check that the middle chain ring is okay. It’s really hard finding replacements for those.
