After some initial concerns that the 20″ was a bit on the big side, I’ve been out for a spin on mine this morning and I can confirm – it’s perfect!

Surly frames are pretty traditional geometry so IME always look a bit on the big side until you sling a leg over them.

I Alfine’d my KM, here it is at Cannock Chase. Love the bike its ace, it just feels right.

Mine’s the 22″. It’s one of the few off-the-peg bikes that fits me.

Anyway, I didn’t die. Didn’t go particularly fast either, judging by my Strava results, but I didn’t feel great on the bike, think I have a cold coming on. However, it was good fun, felt like having a brand new bike, and it really started to click towards the end, up through Sulham Woods.

You can get a matching T shirt too 8)

They need to do a Pugsley shirt next 😉

Am after a 2012 frame – anyone know of any stock anywhere, searched on line and can’t see anything.

Triton have 20″ in stock for £259!
Tredz have all sizes too at £379

Bregante – both old model frames with canti stubs/mounts.

I lovingly looked after epo-aholic’s km for a while before moving to the ogre due to its amazing functionality and run it with a Rohloff. I think I’ll still be riding it in another 10 years…
