We've had a few krampi(?) through our hands. Quite popular, more GP i suppose.
See you sat
let's talk bikes
Ps nice tree, looks like an ash but unusually large if so

Hi
Sorry I’ve not been in touch. I’m going to pass on the Ogre, I’ve had a few and the later version isn’t what I’m after.
I’m still looking for a small frame, Troll, 1x1, Karate Monkey and possibly an earlier Ogre, the cosmetics don’t have to be perfect, I like the lived on look.
I’m still interested in selling / swapping my medium Krampus frame and possibly the same for my Wednesday (complete, SS, small)…
Cheers

Hi, I've only come across this post today. Did you manage to find a small surly frame?
I have a 2011 small Troll in orange. It was my all year commuter bike a few years ago and whilst being a bit scruffy looking is structurally in good condition. The only issue that it has concerns the rim brake pivots. The threads on the pivots are the wrong pitch. Surly uses a different pitch from all other manufacturers! This has resulted in the pivots not fitting nicely. I only realised this when I first built up the bike after buying from the previous owner. I tried to use v-brakes and they didn't rotate smoothly. I ended up using disc brakes after sourcing a Surly Ogre/Troll rear break adaptor.
The frame has been sprayed on the inside with either GT85 or motorcycle chain lube to prevent rust. As I said this was my year round commuter bike.
If you are interested I can "dig" it out from the back of my spare room and take pictures for you. Currently I don't have a headset fitted to this frame and forks, but I do have the Surly rear disc adaptor and a seat clamp.
I'm up in Scotland but I have a box and packaging to be able to post to you. I've not thought about a price as I wanted to see if you'd found a frame first before tidying up my spare room to get my hands on it.
Cheers, J.
