It's just a normal Troll with S[HTML_REMOVED]S couplers. Really nothing we haven't had access to for years. Costs for installing S[HTML_REMOVED]S couplers aftermarket and the Surly pre-made frames was a wash when I looked at their previous travel bikes.

What would be nice is if Surly put a 44mm HT on the Troll for compatibility with tapered forks.

Nothing I've seen at Interbike this year has really blown my mind. So far this edition seems like a bit of a dud in that regard.

Yeah, its a boring year IMO…. except for the 1000 brands of power meters on the market. Who uses these damn things anyway?

Agreed , i have a bit of an nostalgic boner for the P650!
Just a whole lotta right happening there for a HT.

Of course i do love my Explosif 650 as well.

I just dig Ritchey stuff. Not the best geo for local riding, but would be fun on buff smooth singletrack.

From Eurobike but I want a set of these updated bullmoose bars from Ritchey.

i kinda get the vibe that there's a bit of a backlash against the newest fanciest high-priced gear. not that people don't dig it, they're just kinda reeling in reeling in the spending
