Complete Frameset for sale, just add your choice of wheels and pedals and go shred some single track or load it up and go bike packing!
And I mean CHOICE of wheels, too. This will run 29ers with 2.4/2.5in tires or 27.5s with 2.8 or maybe even up to 3in tires. It’s also “Gnot Boost” spacing (rear axle) so it’ll fit both 142 or 148mm hub standards, thanks to the flexible properties of the cro-mo steel and clever Surly design. Horizontal dropouts if you wanted to SS it, too.
Speaking of steel, have you ever felt the beautiful ride qualities of a steel frame? You should. It’s the best! And the frame and paint are in great shape, but if you wanted to SprayBike (best rattle-can product ever!) the frame a new color, included is a full sticker pack ready for finishing touches. Again clever folks at Surly made this easy to do with frame stickers over the paint for easy prep work, external cable bosses, and zits are everywhere for bags or racks bottle cages etc.
Well maintained bike, and not heavily used at all.
Stock SRAM components (NX group & Level brakes) with RockShox Sektor 140mm fork w/boost spacing. 125mm Dropper Post has been flawless. Swapped the bars to Easton carbon EC70 I think, around 770ish wide.
Comes with everything pictured except the wheels/rotors. The included pictures of it on wheels are for stance & size reference… (29 x 2.5 pictured).
You will only need your wheelset with rotors (currently set for 160mm rear, 180mm front) and please note, a SHIMANO freehub body to fit the 12speed Eagle wide range cassette that is included.
