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.

Because it's alu and it's (least to them) a higher tier frames that share similarites to the geared version.

Surly hubs/Kinlin will be great, gonna last you quite a while.
