With 2 road bikes on eBay fetching decent wedge at the moment, I'll have a huge pile of dosh to blow on a new bike soon. 😀
Fancy a nice basic karate monkey single speed 29er with the view of putting an Alfine on it at some point...
Owt else I could be considering?
Any s/h offers considered here too. Looking at a large btw. Fancy steel too.
How about one of these? Easily alfine-able

to KM on RB[/url]
There is one on Retrobike at the moment but for that money I would maybe want a later one. Looks tidy enough though.
Personally having two Surlys already and having flogged my Swift, I would go with a Swift. Nothing against the Surlys as they are ace but the Swift was really very very nice.
+1 for Swift, I have 2 now... 😀

The bikemonger has a deal on Surlys
I bought one a few months ago. My first 29er in fact my first time on a 29er.
I've been a long time fan of Surlys having had a 1x1 and a crosscheck. It is fantastic. Lively ride, quick and not bad spec wise, although I swapped the saddle, bars, stem and cranks for my personal preference.
Get one, you'll love it.
Swifts look a tad out my price range I am afraid.
Nice thinks though.
I would have though that the [url=
Fortitude[/url] fitted the bill (they do an off the peg Alfine version). I think that they're available frame only too.
I have a KM, love it, now fixed but eventually I could imagine it Alfined. I also have a 1x1 and Pugsley, Surly make good, usable, fun bikes..
and Charlie the BM is great to deal with.......
