Surly Straggler Build Part 6 Stem and Bar

The #straggler by #surly is steering ever closer to completion. A fork attached to a steerer tube is plenty useful, but not nearly as useful a fork with a headset, stem and #surlycornerbar ! Why the #cornerbar when the frame geometry is suited to a drop with gravel hardware while the Cornerbar is designed to allow flat bar bikes to be ridden with drops??? The answer is that I simply wanted to try the bar out, and it looks awesome. The other reason is that I have a very unusual derailleur shifter set that I want to try in the future when the super versatile #surlystraggler gets converted to a multiple geared bike. Enjoy and look out for Part 7: Levers and cables very soon. Don't forget to watch Parts 1 to 5 to see the #bikebuild coming together.
