Surly Bridge Club build | Full Cycle Ottawa

[@curtbrown7967]

My Bridge club has been an amazingly durable and constant partner for thousands of off pavement adventures. Great bike!

I built up a whipped butter frameset a few months ago. I have 27.5 x 2.6 Vittoria Mezcals and they are awesome!

Love the bridge club. I have a 2023 bc XL 27.5 bike...wish I had held off and gotten the 2024 version since they redesigned the fork and included a kickstand mount. It's a great bike. Have the panaracer gravelking sk+ 2.1 tires setup tubed but plan to get the mezcal for tubeless or the schwalbe G-One allaround tubeless tires for loaded bike touring. Have 3 handlebars that I'm still trying out...the stock salsa bends, Jones H Bar 2.5 and butterfly bars. I have carpal tunnel issues so need a bar to give me a more upright posture when riding.

Hells ya! Makes me want to get rowdy on a steel bike!

I am in the exact same situation. Come from mtb. bought some gravel bike and was shreding it on trails and also got interesting in bikepacking. Then i started to look for flat bar ATB. And here i am looking ant bridge club as a do it all bike.

Sounds like the Bridge Club would be perfect for you!

[@GuitarKilf]

I'm most interested in this bike I would like to know more on how you feel it rides. I'm currently looking for a modern take on the best do it all bike I ever had the fully rigid Kona lava done (97) basically I'm looking for a modern adult kids bike that does it all.

Sounds like the Bridge Club is right up your alley then. We'll definitely have Jeremy do a follow up video in the next bit but if you'd like more information before that, be sure to stop by one of our stores if you're in the Ottawa area or chat in right on our website and we'll be happy to answer any of your questions.

I live in VT and ride a bridge club as well! Mezcals are cool but you should consider Ultradynamico Mars JFF tires instead. They're literally designed for the New England terrain you'll be on and they are super nice and fast rolling.

[@Big_Shonk]

Also interested in some bikpacking vids; get out there dude!

[@FullCycleOttawa]

@@Big_Shonk Nice! The Bridge Club is incredible. Jeremy ended up swapping the tires to Maxxis Ikon's and from what we've heard he's loving it! We'll be sure to document Jeremy's overnight trips later this summer.
