So I've got a Disc Trucker frame that I built up using Blunt 35's with Clemente x'plor 700x40's on it. I got the frame at a good price, and enjoy the bike.
I've also got a Pugsley that I can run with a 29+ Rabbit Hole/Knard setup. This is my off-road bike packing setup.
I originally built the Trucker as an adventure touring bike with no real intentions of road touring...now I'm wondering if an Ogre frameset would be a better setup for the mostly dirt/gravel road riding and touring?
If I got the Ogre I'd swap everything over off the Trucker including my drop bars. I'd want it to still be comfortable no matter where I ride...pavement, dirt/gravel, etc. I don't see it being used for my singletrack adventures, however.
So...keep the Trucker? Buy the Ogre?
Interested in hearing your thoughts!
Also, please no "but bike nnnnn instead" please. Gonna be staying with Surly. Thanks!
