It's likely that there's little need to bend the tubing to compensate for the wide tyres and narrow spacing, the clearance would be a bit tighter if it were 120mm with almost straight seatstay/chainstay.
Does Surly still do the Fixxer? you can probably just fit a 135mm hybrid wheels (Mavic A319/Shimano Deore hubs) and put the Fixxer on it to convert it into a fixed wheel.

I see, but then they have the alu frame Charge 1 with 120mm spacing...
Could gone with a conversion but i've just pressed go on the Surly New Ultra hub / kinlin XR22T build.
Cos I'm worth it. Or something.

@edscoble fair point but i cba to sell my bike and buy another one when i like it fine like it is, except for the busted wheel.
But this did cause me to flick through the Charge line up and wtf were they thinking with the 135mm OLD on a single speed? I can't see the Plug 0 frame anywhere else in the line up with gears on it so wtf was the point?
and, as documented elsewhere, they forgot to drill any mudguard fixings on it.
and, they told me back in May that all this would be sorted for the 2017 line up... of which there is no sign...
get it together, you lot....
