This Surly Disc Trucker caught my eye. Forerunner of the gravel bike? All our recliners had BB7 brakes from 2006 onwards but rim brakes ruled on uprights for a while.

Average speed of 3.7mph - heather & peatbogs vs Mondraker mtb. Actually my fastest time yet. Reward = excellent Glenshee Cafe at Lair. Plus much faster run back on tar!
