Since this is my little slice of Internet wonder bread and all I figure I ought to be able to post this without fear of feeling like a goon. Well, I still feel kinda like a boob but whatever. Buy my bike - $650 local sale. It's a good deal, please buy it so I can pay for the Kelly 'cross bike I sooooo desperately need to bang elbows with the bottom 1/3 of the C class 'cross racers this fall.
Here's the bike: '07 Surly in the medium size AKA: 18". Lime green with some PIMP matching rims. Roll like the breeze in Lou Feregino style.. I'm 6' tall and it fits me well. It rides like a MTB should. Nice and neutral and surprisingly forgiving for a 26" rigid woods bike.
Specs:
Medium (18") 1x1 frame - all the geometronical details are on the Surly site.http://www.surlybikes.com/1X1.html
Wheelset: Hugi hubs (hayes branded) laced to Velocity rims. Rims were powdercoated to match the frame by the original owner. These hubs are friggin' sweet and will last a loooong time.
Tires: Maxxis Larsen 2.3s. Very nice SS tires, they roll fast and take the edge off.
Crankset: LX 170mm with a Spot bashguard and a 32t Surly Stainless ring
Cog: 20t Surly cog
Chain: Sram PC 58 8spd
Tensioner: Surly Tugnutt
Seatpost clamp: Surly Constrictor
Post: Thomson
Saddle: Bontrager Race
HS: FSA Pig
Stem: Race Face Prodigy 115
Bar: Ritchey Rizer SC
Grips: Oury ODI lock on
Levers: Avid Speed dial Ti
Cables - Avid Flak Jacket (I still need to install the front for whoever buys it).
Brakes: Avid BB5 up front, and a BB7 in the rear. Roundagon rotors.
Extras: The other BB7 brake caliper I have (never got around to swapping out the front) and an 18t Surly cog.
I've owned the bike since late December 2006. It has a total of 33 rides under me and one race. The rear hub was serviced (routine) last Spring by a kick ass mechanic. It has the normal scratches one would associate with MTB riding.
* There is some wear from my heel on the non drive side. I sanded off a little surface rust and touched it up with auto touch up (blue). I wrapped some black electrical tape over it. I also treated the frame with Frame saver when I got it.
More pics by request - or just swing by palatial Jenkins St. Estates to arrange a private viewing. I'll have Russell the guard buzz you in.
Thanks for looking - post a comment or email me at mtbdee at hotmail dot com.

This bike WILL make you faster.
