...There are many like it but this one is mine....

coool bike are there fenders? looks awesome urban assault is in order

I just wanted 2 show how insanely close the 48t crank is to the frame. I don't know if the pic shows it, but take my word. It's close.

no fenders, just big meat, sorry 4 all the bike porn.

Oooh, Power Grips...

who apologizes for bike porn? bring it on!
nice bike by the way!

Interesting setup!

I'm a little confused though...
This is a 1x1, right?
...and you are running it fixed? (I'm guessing because of the single brake)

How long are your Raceface cranks? ..and have you hit those platforms on the ground yet?

The Bontrager slicks look great too.. and huge! 2.2"?

If I had that thing I would doing massive nose stall endos at every light, and spinning the backwheel in reverse before slamming it back onto the ground. It just screams 'urban fun'.

You must master your Surly as you master your life... YOU WILL.


Now chant: "THIS is my Surly, this is my gun...!"

Geez, I have had my eye on a new Cross Check for the past while and these pics are making me want to run out and buy it now. I also very much like the take off from Full Metal Jacket "This is my Surly, this is my gun...!" LOL I will have to remember it....

Yeah I know, my bike is all over the place and that's how I like. I got it used so it's a mixture of his stuff and mine and it works like a dream. It's a singlespeed and the rear brake will be put back on just need a link or two for my chain. The Hank(slick) was rubbing the brake line. I haven't flown off the handlebars yet, but for my light commute and riding hard for fun on local trails. I haven't had a problem yet. I'm surprised too, with the height of the meats I have perfect clearance, believe me, I like to go into turns deep. It's a lot of fun. This is easily my favorite bike ever... Thanks 4 the compliments.

Nice. I love the huge slicks.

Sweet Bike!
You said no clearance problems, but any problems with toe-overlap?

Nice! Looks like something the Punisher would ride if he got his license taken away.

maybe it could have an automatic gernade dispenser for the punisher if he this trick set of wheels

Sweet. What's your gearing?

Here's mine:

You've got an appropriate thread title: I had a guy at my LBS yesterday tell me "Surly frames are essentially weapons."

Whats more dangerous then a surly rider catching up to a obscene cager and ghost riding there nearly indestructible bike into a side panel. I think the surly would win Or a surly being tossed into a wind shield of a obscene cager after being hit or caught up into in a parking lot

Sweeeet. And yeah the fat slicks are really nice.

What tires are those? I'd like to get some uber-wide slicks like that for my LHT. What are those anyway, like 2.1 inches?

Bontrager Hanks 26x2.2

48x17, with my 26x1.9 slicks I would need about a 48x15 maybe to keep the pace that I like. But with these fat boys and my 48x17 gearing, I think I've found my "PEEEERRRRRRFFFFFEEEECCCCCTTTTTT GEAR"

Oh, btw, sweet white 1x1 urself, I love those skinny yellow slicks. What kind are those?

bitin' on the Surly thread... pant pant... oooo yea diggin' the slicks

No toe overlap problems either. I don't know how but I think I just found the perfect bike for me and my character. I know that it's true for cars, the car u drive represents the person u are. Well I don't have a car and I hope this surly is essentially me, a harsh looking bruiser, who burns to be fast, give it a ride and u'll find out, it's pretty smooth...not too bad, not perfect but works hard to be, at least, decent in a few different areas

Thanks. The tires are 1.3" Vredstein S-Licks. They also come in red and blue(and black of course).

camashtorcal, I still think you should drop the technology (cyclocomputer) to free your mind when riding your sweet fat-slicked surly.

dynaryder: that is an interesting shifter, what is it? Great looking bike, too.

Those Surly's sure are versatile. How do they ride?
