2020 Surly Lowside - 26"+ Tires

Just bought this 2020 Surly Lowside (26" inch wheel version) this past July 2020. It is in excellent to essentially new condition.

Would take $1,299 total to cover bike, shipping, insurance, and PayPal fees. Bike does not come with pedals and will have the stock grips put back on (not the blue Deity grips shown).

It is a great all-around bike that’s fun and easy to just hop on and ride with low maintenance. I've taken it cruising the neighborhood, single track, pump track, and dirt jumps. It has handled all of it. Easy to transport, as I can fit the whole bike in a Subaru Forester without needing to take any wheels off and no bike rack.

The 26 x 3.0" tires are playful and grippy and have a good range for changing pressure to accommodate the riding style. The plus tire size gives a similar rollover and characteristics of a 27.5 tire but retains some of the nimbleness of a 26”.

The tall front end makes it comfortable to ride with spacers to lower too. Seat has plenty of post length to be raised (it's lowered right now because I was pumping/jumping some).

The bike is really versatile because it can take a 100mm suspension fork, gears/derailleur, dropper post, and 27.5+ wheels.

I'm about 6ft and the Large fit well.

I'm torn some about selling it but think I may be doing more jumping and pumping and rougher riding.

There are a couple very minor paint nicks and scratches, and for some reason the cranks spin forward for a few rotations when walking the bike. Surly said it doesn't sound like any major concern and may work out over time (not sure?), but it hasn't caused any ride quality problems. Seat post has some scratching from adjusting position in tube.

Bike is basically out of stock in stores, and I had to buy out of state. The dealer charged me sales tax (high at 9 or 10% if I recall correctly) and also shipping. Total cost was about $1,450 because I had to pay extra than usual.
