alright hello everyone this is we'll
0:01
hear from a singletrack magazine and
0:02
we're here at Euro bike 2018 we're in
0:04
the surly booth checking out this brand
0:06
new bike
0:07
well not brand-new when did this one
0:09
come out this came out in the mid April
0:11
April 19th
0:12
this year 18 so it's one of the newer
0:15
bikes from silly yep alright and what's
0:17
a cool what's the debacle we got here so
0:19
this is the low side it is what we
0:22
caught around the office we call this
0:23
the ultimate pub Slayer think about this
0:26
bike kind of is like the bike you had
0:27
when you were a kid but this is the
0:29
adult version so it's a super simple
0:31
bike it's a single-speed it's made for
0:34
fun you're gonna take this bike you're
0:35
gonna ride across town rip around the
0:38
single track head over to the pub have a
0:40
few beers and then ride on home it's
0:42
just pure fun
0:43
see it's come stock with the 26 inch
0:47
dirt wizard tires three inch wide it all
0:50
it fits
0:50
twenty-seven five tires as well so you
0:53
have a little bit of option there single
0:55
speed as I mentioned it's just really
0:58
basic bike here in a good way we didn't
1:00
want to have anything super fancy it's
1:02
just for pure fun an interesting part
1:05
here at this bike is we stock this with
1:07
the sunrise handlebars this is one of
1:09
the surly handlebars
1:10
now why do these seconds I don't know
1:12
what the exact width is but they're
1:14
super wide you can cut these down on
1:16
here to make them a little wider but I
1:17
think it's kind of fun having them out
1:19
real wide like that it looks absolutely
1:22
wild it's a it's super fun on the trails
1:26
that you just its handles really great
1:28
its maneuverable fast it's it's really
1:32
just pure fun I like the new suspension
1:34
design in these 3-inch wide tires there
1:37
is a ton of pneumatic suspension there I
1:40
mean if you don't get grip with those
1:42
lugs on those tires you got some
1:44
problems there no we did today we saw a
1:49
13 speed group set this feels like quite
1:52
far away from that kind of concept this
1:54
is the exact opposite of that in a very
1:56
good way just one that's all you need
1:59
we did put a derailleur hanger on there
2:01
we considered just cutting those off
2:03
when they arrived
2:04
that void the warranty so if you buy one
2:06
of these don't cut it off unless you're
2:08
gonna want that warranty to hang on
2:10
they're good but if you do cut it off
2:12
congratulations that's good too
2:15
do you have a name for this special
2:17
paint job yeah that is rainbow in the
2:19
dark rainbow in the dark 11 if you can
2:24
catch it on there as a bit of a sparkle
2:25
under that black pane and super cool
2:27
though that is fabulous
2:29
this does come in a frame only or the
2:31
complete bike so you got options it's
2:34
really a perfect bike for your parts bin
2:36
this bike if you got a bunch of parts
2:39
lying around chances are you can build
2:41
up a complete bike with this and that's
2:42
that's by design we wanted this to be
2:44
real easy to make it with stuff you have
2:46
on the back it's a horizontal sliding
2:49
dropout yeah yeah yep that's you got the
2:52
chain tensioner here you can move it
2:54
forward or back it's kind of nice and
2:56
that tension it comes on the complete
2:58
bike yep that comes on there and you can
2:59
buy that aftermarket for other bikes out
3:02
there if you just want that piece we
3:04
sell that too right on but I do see a
3:06
little stealthy do a little port down
3:08
here as well yeah yeah you got the self
3:10
driver cable routing down there so slide
3:13
it in there and you can drop it like
3:16
it's hot
3:18
so that's the the sailing low side a bit
3:21
of a bit of a hark back to the original
3:22
one by one which was the model the one
3:24
by one one by one ratray yeah that's the
3:28
first early bike was wasn't even a bike
3:30

3:31
started so this is the throwback to that
3:33
