Hello everyone … I’m thinking of buying a Surly Cross Check frame and building it up to be my everyday commuter (10 miles each way) and for use as a light tourer on occasions. I like the sound of Audaxes too, so want it to be pretty comfortable and reliable.
So I’d really like some ideas of what components to put on it Any must-haves or things to avoid ? Initially on my wish list are a Brooks saddle and a Chris King headset (funds permitting of course) but I don’t really know much about stems, seatposts, handlebars (apart from that I need them !)
And I was thinking of a triple – am currently a bit overweight and underfit !
So any suggestions for any component would be welcome, as it’ll be a total new build up.
Cheers
Jon
