a few years ago now, in a time before Keep Pedalling Limited, I bought a 1×1 frame – it was 2005 according to the frame number. Did you know you can tell when a Surly frame was produced from the frame number? All is explained here<\/a><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>anyway, it’s had a few adventures over the years and been ridden the hell out of. Some time ago Shona even treated it to a silver\u00a0head badge from Jen Green<\/a>\u00a0and I glued and screwed it on.\u00a0This probably stopped me from giving it a fresh lick of powder sooner but Armourtex<\/a> assured me they’d treat it good and so off it went to be reborn. The\u00a0canti bosses were removed, the cable stops repositioned and it got a lick of super yellow\u00a0powdercoat. All looking very modern.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>the great thing about this old frame is the massive tyre clearance. Veetire’s 27.5 x 2.8 on Stans Hugo (52mm!) rim fits with plenty of room. Remember this is a\u00a0frameset designed for 26″ wheels 10+ years ago.<\/span>

\n<\/span>it may not look a lot but even the super muddiness at this years Bristol BikeFest<\/a> didn’t leave a mark on the frame.\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>did we mention that we podiumed? Is that even a word?<\/span>
\n

\n<\/span>so, Fatties Fit Fine and this means more grip and comfort. Go try it. Fatter tyres and lower pressure, that’s the new black whatever you may be riding.<\/span>
