It is a first generation Moonlander, which Surly debuted in 2011, and discontinued in 2016. This bike should not be confused in any way with Surly's new freaky-deaky ground-up redesigned 2025 Moonlander; they are two completely different bikes.
Actually, technically, this bike is not really mine. It's a loaner from a good friend who moved away. He asked me, while I was helping him load the last of his family's stuff into their moving-truck, if I would be willing to keep it in my garage, on stand-by, for him to ride whenever he came back to town to visit.
Like I said, he's a good friend, so of course I agreed. Especially after he told me it would be fine with him if I rode it around whenever I cared to.
In the years that it's been housed here at my place, of course, I have. Many, many times.
Meantime, my friend, well, I'm happy to say he has been back to visit several times.
Nonetheless, despite his repeated visits, he's ridden the bike just once... So...
