No longer available as complete bikes from Surly, they were designed as a dedicated fixed-gear, but its geometry is closer to a road bike than a track bike, so they are an absolute dream to ride. You can roll over anything and hardly feel it and the deep rim wheels give lots of kick when you set off from traffic lights but do give it a bit of extra weight... the drops make it quick to ride but i've had BMX handles on it too and they were more relaxed but just as sweet to ride.
I built this bike, rode it for a month or so, and then went abroad for work for 18 months. Recently got back, so hardly ridden and never kept it out in the wet, so its in excellent nick. Sad to sell it, but I want to buy a road bike and need the cash from this for it.
I bought the frame and then added the components, they are all top quality, look the shit, and I have the receipts for them all so you know this isn't a dodgy bike. Charlie the Bikemonger loves them, and makes them up for £799+ so £600 is a bargain... check out his website and you'll see the cost of them, and also the rave reviews.
Give me a call on 07984283269 if you interested.
