2012 Surly Karate Monkey Fully Rigid Single Speed

I am the original owner of this awesome, versatile bike. The bike has been well maintained and cleaned after each ride. Brakes are still strong. Only noticeable blemish is from the brake cables on the head tube. All parts are original (with the exception of the tires and tubes - Randonneur 700x35c) and can be found in the 2012 Surly Catalog on page 51 here: https://surlybikes.com/uploads/downloads/7181_SUR_2012_Cat_web.pdf

One of the best things about the Karate Monkey is that it was designed to be very customizable... With the skinny tires and the single speed set up, this bike is perfect for cruising around the city (the 33x17 gear ratio is great for Seattle too.) Additionally, you could easily add a rear derailleur (and front) for any kind of drive train set up. Throw a set of forks on it and you've got a real mean All Mountain Hardtail capable of handling whatever you throw at it.

I am very fond of this bike and only selling it because I don't live close enough to the city to get consistent use out of it... I'm also in the process of building my third AM bike and could use the extra room.

Thank you for looking!

Mike
