Stoked to have found a two bike deal locally! Coming from racing motocross, riding BMX, and riding enduro MTB's. These two bikes felt so comfortable and should cover any bike packing needs I have. Maybe look into a hardtail down the road to add to the fleet.
I responded to a Facebook posting for the Trek and mentioned I would like to come take a look as I'm looking to switch from enduro MTB's to bike packing. When I got there, he said since I mentioned bike packing, he also has another bike he is planning to sell that I may like more. Been looking on marketplace for any 29er Surlys but they were all a few hours away. Decided to go ahead and just pick up both of them and couldn't be happier to start with these setups for bike packing.
