Found. Thanks.

In search of a Surly Ogre or Troll frameset in size large. 1st gen frame, please. Don?t care about the condition as long as there is not any dents or major rust.

Please let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks.

Bravo to your wife for being a trooper. Hope she continues to recover well!

Ahh, too bad. Sorry to hear. ER bills are pretty rough, too. I broke my hand a few years ago and decided to go to the ER. All they did was put a soft cast on. Then charged me $2k. I’ll know better to just wait and either go to urgent care or just call into the ortho doc the next business day. Hope her recovery is going well.

I'm not a big fan of the current Sir9.  They really jacked up the geometry.  I would pick the Stache of those two choices.

Other options depends on what type of singletrack your'll be riding and really, what your goals are for the tour.  If you want to set PR's and go all out, then something light and fast would be ideal.  I'd get any light XC type mountain bike hard tail (Spec Epic HT, Trek Procaliber, Canyon Exceed, etc).

If not, something like a Surly Karate Monkey would be great.  Either set up with 29x2.1" tires or 27.5x3" tires (if you want more plushness, although may be overkill for most of the GD route).  It would be a fun bike to take on most singletracks.

Hey, no, sorry.  The Large is just too long.  Wish I could!

Hello, looking for a Krampus in medium size.  Ops version preferred, but not necessary.  Trying to get a bikepacking rig on the cheap, and only this model, so please no other offers.  I'm not interested in the very new Krampus models with the Gnot Boost spacing, either.

Frameset is fine as well, but complete is preferred.  Paint scratches are absolutely fine.  Thanks.

I'm itching for a new bike.  Currently, I have two bikes that meet my bikepacking needs, but they are not light (range 27-32lbs).  I'd like to get something that's pretty light (talking ~20lbs) that could handle S24O and some gravel races.  Next logical thought would probably be something like a Salsa Cutthroat.  But I am not a fan of drop bars, I found.  So a flat bar MTB with a rigid carbon fork is what I'm after.  Plus, the ability to go Singlespeed is a big plus.

What I'd really like is a Pivot LES that can take 27.5 Plus and 29" tires.  Enve rigid fork, I9 wheels, and it'd be perfect.  But I'm open to other suggestions.  Because going Ti interests me as well.  i.e. Lynskey has their Ridgeline frames for $1,600.  That would be a nice rig as well.

Cost is definitely a consideration.  There are probably better buys out there.  Please throw out some suggestions.  Thanks.

Hi, emailed you about a potential trade.

The new Karate Monkey looks promising as a bikepacker.  Plenty of brazeons, ability to fit 27.5+ tires and nice frame geometry.  The only thing I wish is for more frame bag space (typical of Surly with super short head tubes). 

Any of you going to get one once they're available?

Interested, but what's the price?

Looking for a 56cm Long Haul Trucker frameset.  26" wheel size a must.  Don't care about the color.  Thank you.

Hey Scott. No, I've already got a SS gravel bike. Thanks though!

2014 Salsa Fargo. Size Large (20"). Color, yellow. Has maybe 300 miles on it. Build from frame set.

Wheels and cranks have a few more miles on them (1000)

Price: $1,100 + shipping

Overall, very good condition. No dings or dents. Please email for pictures. Thanks.

Curious if you've had other tires on those rims.  Any issues in the past?  I've been wanting to try those out, but now am skeptical.

Thank you, gents.  I found some Nano Raptors for a great price, so I will try those out first.  I'll come back to the other tires if these don't work out.

Looking for new tires for my Fargo. Not racing on it but will be covering distance. Typical terrain is dry hardpack and asphalt (high desert in Utah). What would you recommend? I'm currently running an Ardent up front and Ikon rear. Ardent is a bit too much, especially for the road. I like the Ikons so maybe Ikon front and back?
