My Surly bike Cross Check Parts Introduction (First build)

My Surly Cross Check Parts Introduction (First build). I plan to have fun with this Surly bike. This is my first Surly and I want to transform it whenever the wind tells me to. In this first build, I am shooting for a casual chill upright position type of ride. I will eventually turn it into a cyclocross racer so drop bars a custom-made lightweight wheelsets. Obviously a gravel bike, I guess that's the latest marketing gimmick the big wigs came up with. Whatever I"m down.
