OH! this isn’t a thread hijack, this is what I envisioned! (Surly bikes are awesome, btw).Yep. It's a mtb drivetrain basically. It's built for travelling (hence the S&S couplers), light touring. I also commute on it sometimes and do bigger road/gravel rides on it. Cockpit example and on-tour examples below (sorry for thread hijack @Wendy -- just love upright-ish bikes).

I *think* my BB is 130mm.....dumb question...can I measure the frame to see?
I am going to be getting help to assemble my bike, it’s not DIY. Probably will commission a Mennonite guy that runs a local shop. He’s pretty utilitarian and knowledgeable....Mennonites around here use bikes as a main form of transportation. (The local high end shop closed, despite being across the street from the velodrome).
I take it that’s the Jones Loop bar....good to see it from above.
