Welcome to the second episode of my Surly Bridge Club Build. I've ordered a bunch of parts. Now I have to get busy prepping the frame before I can turn it into a working bike. In this episode, I'll talk about my previous touring bikes and then install Frame Saver and 3M paint protection film. Steel is real. But it does rust over time, and I live in Minnesota where we salt the roads liberally.
