....is a 27.5 plus. Have a look on the Surly web page. I am too thick to be able to post a picture... But I do think it looks great.

Thanks BD. On second thoughts the tubes look a bit fat..... Might just be the colour of course.

Oh lord I am so slow on the uptake sometimes. This thread isn't hub width specific though, I thought I would open it up to users to allow chat on say the headset diameter or the amazing colour.

I wonder when the UK will get stock.....

Dust is a brilliant marketing tool. I'm looking at that and thinking how much I'd enjoy ragging it around in the dust. Not that we ever have dust over here.

Looks like my Pugsley!, they stole my latest colour!, and Pugsley takes 4" Fat wheels and 29+ with heaps of mud clearance, and with 27+ wheels it is the same BB height as stock, if you don`t mind a 100mm BB 🙂

Always liked the look of Karate Monkeys, but always been a bit put off by the price. Not many around second hand either. Definitely on my list of bikes to try one day though and that yellow looks nice 🙂
