Surly Cross Check Build

(1/7) > >>

Goliath:
Hey guys!

So I just ordered a cross check frameset through the shop I work at and I'm soooo exited to build it up but I'm just unsure on how I should go about doing that.

The bike is going to be used for general use/exploration/touring so I want this bike to be able to handle everything. I am not a fan of drop bars so that's not going to happen. I'm probably gonna go with some flat bars that have some backsweep to them.

Should I go Shimano or Sram? I was kinda thinking of just goin full xt/xtr.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Paul Touring Cantis or Minimotos for brakes.

Albie:
Put the new M8000 XT group on it (swap some 105 5800 compact cranks in the make up for the 68mm bottom bracket) with some nice Paul bits if you want and a wheelset built up using the H+Son Archetype rims.

Brooklynrider:
1x with a clutch XT derailleur and friction shifters.

LeonLikesToRock:
I really like Sugino cranks
