They&#8217;re nice and swoopy to get a comfy upright position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the fenders, I went with the Smooth Fenders from V.O. they just look clean and simple. Gotta have fenders for a bike you would be riding everyday.

The best kickstand in my opinion, because of its stability and it jut looks cool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2 x 9 set up because I just love double front bikes, but I also wanted to keep things not too crazy.

They are there to prevent the hem of your pants getting tangled up in the chainring. It&#8217;s an Everyday Bike, so you want to be able to ride it in any kind of outfit. Keeping the chainring exposed also looks cool too but these chainring guards are definitely a mood for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"*SURLY* disc trucker (46)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bluelug\/51984822162\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51984822162_1f256ffbfc_3k.jpg\" alt=\"*SURLY* disc trucker (46)\" width=\"3072\" height=\"2048\" \/><\/a><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"*SURLY* disc trucker (46)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bluelug\/51986115074\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51986115074_1d9509f331_3k.jpg\" alt=\"*SURLY* disc trucker (46)\" width=\"3072\" height=\"2048\" \/><\/a><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There you have it folks.
