Hello folks,
This is the first of many staff long-termer bikes we're going to feature within our forums, because we think it's a great place for you to get involved with the riding we're doing, the upgrades we make to our bikes, and our long-term review plans.
Today we launched a first look video of my long-term bike, the Surly Bridge Club, which is essentially a rugged all-road touring bike. If you haven't had a chance to watch the video yet, here's a link to it:

Rather than kit it out and tell you what I've done to it, I want to hear what you'd put on it to get the most out of this bike. Leave me all your suggestions in this thread and I'll update you when she's up and running!
Also, if you're a fellow Surly owner or have something similar, post photos of your setup - I want all the inspiration!
