Surly Big Dummy

Joe Bike now offers Surly’s Big Dummy as a frameset ($999; 16″, 18″,
20,” or 22″) or as a complete build tailored to your needs and budget
($1900-2700). 

The Big Dummy is built from 4130 CroMoly
steel. We designed it to be torsionally rigid while offering some
vertical compliance. The Big Dummy features disc caliper mounts and
cantilever brake pivots, clearance for 26 x 2.5″ tires and fenders,
multiple water bottle cage mounts, and a kickstand mount. Set it up
with mountain components, road components, or a mixture of both. There
are no chainring clearance limitations…except the ground, so you can
gear it as high or low as you like. The included 425mm axle-to-crown
CroMoly fork can be swapped out for an 80mm-travel suspension fork
without radically altering the steering geometry. Frames are available
in 16, 18, 20, and 22″ sizes (center of bottom bracket to top of top
tube).
