EDITED: See post below for details.
I built this custom bike up last Fall while managing a shop. After being laid off in February...now I can use the cash more than the bike.
Parts include:
2008 Surly Pugsley chromoly frame and fork in battleship gray, size large
32h Surly Large Marge with Shimano XT rear hub, 11-34 Shimano cassette
32h Surly Large Marge with Surly front hub, Shimano 18t freewheel, swappable with rear wheel
Surly Endomorph 26X4" tires and tubes
SRAM X-9 shifters and rear derailleur, Shimano SLX front derailleur specific for MTB compact double
Truvativ Hussefelt 24X36t crankset w/external BB for 100mm BB shell, white Hussefelt DH pedals
Truvativ 120mm XR stem and Kore Torsion bars, 700mm wide! (can be cut to any size), Lizard Skinz Charger grips in gray
Silver Deore brake levers pulling Avid BB-7 disc brakes, 185mm rotors f&r
Ritchey WCS 350mm seatpost holding up a very large and comfy Titec El Norte DH saddle
KMC 9-speed chain and all new cables
Other bling items:
Blue anodized Salsa Flipoff skewers and QR seatclamp, blue anodized headset cap
Other items included:
Jannd Mountaineering large seatbag to accommodate a spare tube, tube included
AMF Threadworks Moose Mitts pogies to keep your hands toasty
Although I had great intentions to take this out daily last Winter...it turns out I was less motivated to brave the cold than expected. The bike only has a few test miles on it after it was built up with all new parts, but the float and traction on snow is truly amazing, like snowshoes for a bike. The only visible flaws are some tiny scratches on the left seatstay from an idiot treating it like a $0.25 horsey ride in front of the shop then leaning it against a concrete pillar, hence the headset cap. Believe me, you'll have a hard time keeping people off this like-new rig.
This bike is incredibly versatile and can be converted to a 29er with just a wheelset swap (which is what I'll do if it doesn't sell). Retail price would be in excess of $2800, I'm asking $2100. I am willing to pack and ship, but keep in mind this is a very large and wide bike and will likely be more costly to ship than the norm. Shipping is not included in the price, but will professionally pack for no extra charge. I will also meet with a potential buyer locally. Serious inquiries only. Scammers and lowballers will be laughed at. For offers, questions or more pictures, send me a Personal Message and we can chat.
