There you go, you've saved yourself £500.

Upgrade the Kona - always thought that was a sweet handling frame anyway - nice plush set of forks, and 1x10 for gears. You can always lump them onto the Cotic if/when you eventually get one.

It was an option, but I need a new dropout to go geared and I can't find one anywhere . So then I thought alfine but thats coming in around £200. And my only criticism of the Kona was its non chuckability. Lovely when planted to the ground but horrible when faced with even the tiniest drop off or jump. I need to give it some more thought methinks.

Surely Mikee could machine you the dropouts you require for the Kona ?

Odd you should say that. There was/is a Surley fat bike on Ebay in Fife just now. And we know how much he likes to trawl the auction sites.

Got a link? Had a look but couldn't find it. Not that I need another bike, but you know.

If you do decide to let go of the Unit Kaiser, let me know as I know someone who is looking.

What size is it btw?

And seein' as folk are talkin' new bikes I added to the surly collection this week.

But I did sell a bike at the start of the month, so I was allowed.
