Surly Karate Monkey SS XL Battleship Grey + Extras

Surly Karate Monkey Single Speed for sale.

Currently built up as a super commuter with Schwalbe Big Apple tyres and mudguards. As a city bike it’s a really fun, smooth and fast ride. Also including WTB ExiWolf 2.3” off road tyres, take off the mudguards and switch the tyres and you’ve got a capable MTB / bike packing set up.

Includes White Industries ENO 18T sprocket - RRP £100

Size is XL. I’m 6’4 and it fits me well. Would suit anyone 6’1 and above I’d say.

I removed the decals to make it less attractive to thieves. You can get new ones for £16 if you want to run with decals. Happy to sort this for you before collection if required.

Full spec:
Surly Cromoly 4130 frame and forks
Battleship grey colour
White Industries ENO 18T SS freewheel (RRP £100)
Cane Creek headset
Salsa MotoAce 660mm bars. Nice gentle back sweep. Super comfy.
Avid BB7 MTB disc brakes
Surly SS rear wheel
Neuro front wheel
Deda RS-SL seatpost, WTB saddle
SRAM gxp chainset
Wellgo pedals
Shimano SS chain
Tortec bottle cage
Portland Design Works rear mudguard mounted light
SKS chromoplastic mudguards
Schwalbe Big Apple Tyres (£50+) and WTB ExiWolf 2.3 off road tyres included.

Condition is used. Marks / scratches on the frame, but no dents. Purely cosmetic, see photos. Could do with a new BB at next service, it’s a bit rough and has a small amount of play in it. Nothing to worry about, but would benefit from replacement at some point.

Other than that, it’s a great bike ready to go. Sad to be selling it, only letting it go as I’m moving down to a small London flat that can’t take all my bikes :(

I can get proof of purchase from the shop I bought it from if required.

Collection from York immediately or Brixton SW9 from 10/10/20 onwards.

Any questions / more photos please ask.

£550

Hi there. Is this still available? Thanks, Jack

@JuicyJambon ... you were looking for a larger size right?

(shamelessly trying to throw you off the scent of that lovely clementine k'monkey :)

Yes the XL grey Surly is this long gone?

I am 6ft 2

Will buy this damn well today if still available! (And not under dibs)

What are the chances of this still being available?

Wow!!! That is amazing ahaha

Hey all - reviving this thread as looking to sell this again. Ended up deciding to keep this a year ago but now in need of a Brompton hence sale...

Please read description below as there are changes to original from last year.

Currently built up as a super commuter with Schwalbe Big Apple tyres and mudguards. As a city bike it’s a really fun, smooth and fast ride. I've added a Sturmey Archer S2C Kick Shift rear hub built on to Halo Vapour rim. SS Surly wheel / White Industries set up also available.

Size is XL. I’m 6’4 and it fits me well. Would suit anyone 6’1 and above I’d say. I removed the decals to make it less attractive to thieves. You can get new ones for £16 if you want to run with decals.

Full spec:
Surly Cromoly 4130 frame and forks
Battleship grey colour
Cane Creek headset
Salsa MotoAce 660mm bars. Nice gentle back sweep. Super comfy
Salsa seatpost (scratched)
Neuro front wheel
WTB saddle (slight rip)
SRAM gxp chainset
New GXP BB
New Chain
New sprocket and chainring
Tortec bottle cage
Portland Design Works rear mudguard mounted light
SKS chromoplastic mudguards
Schwalbe Big Apple Tyres
Clarks hydraulic front disc brake
Pelago Rasket (£125 RRP)
Wheel Option 1: Surly SS Wheel with White Industries ENO 18T SS freewheel (RRP for freewheel alone is £100)
Wheel Option 2: Sturmey Archer S2C Kickshift Coaster 2 speed custom built on Halo Vapour rim
Optional higher handlebar set up: On One Molymawk bars and On One Gooseneck Stem

I've really enjoyed the Sturmey wheel - a bit different - maintenance free 2 speed with coaster brake. You kick back to change gear, push back to brake. Sounds odd but you quickly get used to it.

Condition is used. Marks / scratches on the frame and a tiny bit of surface rust from cable rub, but no dents. Purely cosmetic. BB, chain, sprocket and chainring replaced about 150 miles ago.

I can get proof of purchase from the shop I bought it from if required.

Collection from Brixton SW9.

Any questions / more photos please ask.

Price depending on setup:
£550 Single speed wheel
£600 Sturmey wheel set up
£650 to take with both wheels
+£35 extra handlebar/stem setup
+£60 rasket
