2) I'm think of a Surly 1x1 or maybe another Surly SS MTB
Anybody have any thoughts they'd care to share on either of these in combination or singly?
If the wheels won't be taking the kind of abuse that requires a burly mountain bike wheelset.. like speedy offroad use and jumps, you may want to look into a Surly Cross-Check as well. It can take gigantor tires, as mentioned above, and could swap in standard road tires for summer use. It could be built up as a geared bike or single thanks to its horizontal dropouts, has cantilever brake mounts... I love mine.
