The new Karate Monkey is incredible.
I am seriously stunned by how much bike is packed into the price. Surly Mr Whirly SS crankset with Surly chainring and Salsa Chaingaurd – delicious.
Salsa Delgado rims built on Surly hubs, Avid BB7 brakes, nice WTB tires and saddle (it’s no veloplush, though), and Surly 1×1 torsion bar.
And it comes stock with a ton of giddy-up – that’s the best part.

You love those headset spacers…. which brand do you use? Just looking to purchase some stock in their company.

I was impressed to see all those parts on there and a terrific frame to boot. That bike with an upgrade on saddle, some ergon grips and decent pedals could be a serious performer. I am glad you got your hands on one. Good that you leave all those spacers in their so the customer can decide where he wants his bars.
