SOLD: Pugsley (18"/Med) Price Drop w/ adventure upgrades

Bike is sold. Happy adventuring!

Pugsley with some nice upgrades for the adventure-minded.

Frame:
Snowblind white, 18”. Real steel. The usual front and rear rack mounts, two bottle cage mounts, top-tube out-of-the-slop full-length housing bosses, fender mounts, horizontal rear-facing drop-outs so you can use about any drive train set-up, disc brake mounts. The rear and front hub spacing are the same 135mm, so if a freehub or derailleur were to blow, you could swap front/rear wheels and happily pedal out of the Remote Unknown with the included Surly 20t fixed cog on the front.

Wheels:
Chances of the freehub blowing are vastly reduced with the rear DT Swiss 350 ratchet-drive rear hub, the most reliable freehub driver on the planet. Front hub is a Surly 135mm. Hubs are laced to Rolling Darryl 80mm rims with cut-outs via DT Swiss Competition spokes and brass nipples. Front tire is a Vee-Rubber H-Billie marked 4.25. Rear tire is V-Rubber Snowshoe marked 4.7. Both tires actually measure right at 4” on these rims and fill their respective spaces with just the right amount of clearance.

Drive train:
A Chris King bottom bracket will lessen the chance of problems while riding Out There. Cranks are Surly Mr Whirly mounted with a Blackspire 32t, a stainless 22t, and an MRP bash guard. (The bash, so you don't bash, but also so you don’t slash your fancy snowpants on your chainring teeth.) These drive a Shimano 12-36t cassette giving you the low gears you’ll need in snow or while tractor-ing through the rubble in the bottom of a wash. Shifting via a SRAM X7 derailleur and mitten-friendly X-7 twist shifters.

Other components:
Brakes are the (reliable-as-dirt no-fluid-to-freeze) cable-actuated Avid BB5s with Avid 160mm rotors and Avid levers. Cane Creek Ten headset. Salsa Flip-lock front skewer and seatpost clamp. Bontrager seat post with WTB Aviator saddle. Kona stem. Origin8 650mm swept handlebar for all-day comfort and less to catch when “exploring” somewhere brushy that you probably shouldn’t have.

Pedals not included. But I have some if you need some. All for $800.

I bought this used to try fatpacking. Definitely had fun, but this never quite fit me. Moving on to something new in the right size.
