  Had my first dynamo-lit off road ride this evening through Epping Forest. So much fun.

  If anyone fancies some slow-ish forest riding in the evening give me a shout.

• Surly Straggler vs. Brother Kepler

  in Bikes & Bits • 3 days, 4 hours

  

  I've had both and if I were to have one again I'd take the Straggler.

  Straggler
  Better off-road
  Better touring capabilities
  Nicer forks
  Nicer frame details
  Dropouts didnt cause an issue once for me - shimano skewers

  Brother
  Great Square geometry
  Better on road handling

  The Straggler rides like a 90s rigid mtb, it's a bit long but easily compensated for by a stem 1cm shorter.

  The brother much more like a heavy road bike.

  Straggler looks better, with nicer paint and is pretty cool imo.
