BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

This is a used Surly Instigator frame & fork - size 18" - black. Asking $150. If you aren't familiar with this beast, it's a rigid hardtail, uses 26" wheels, built for dirt jumping, freeride, urban riding, or whatever else you want to throw at it. Super solid, beefy 4130 steel frame. It is about 5-6 years old, but has not seen a lot of use, so it is in good condition for its age. No dents or dings that I can see, but it does have some minor rust spots.

I built this frame up exclusively for riding at Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Cleveland, and it handled that sort of riding really well. Now I'm selling it because basement space is getting precious and I don't go to Rays' enough to make it worth keeping.

Includes square-taper bottom bracket (in great shape), matching Instigator fork, Cane Creek headset, Surly seatpost clamp, and Thomson 29.4" seatpost. Stem shown is included if you want it, otherwise I have a few other random stems laying around if you need one, or you're free to use your own.

I also have bins full of old parts that might work on this bike if you need other parts to build it up (such as Race Face cranks, Azonic handlebar, Bontrager seatpost, beefy downhill pedals, Bontrager slick tires, etc.). I am also selling a set of 26" disc Mavic/DT Swiss wheels, and if you are interested, I'll gladly combine as many parts as you want for a discount.

I am located in Lawrenceville. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, if you want photos, or if you want to check it out. Also check out the Surly spec sheet for more details: http://surlybikes.com/uploads/downloads/SURLYInstigator.pdf
