19" Surly Krampus for sale. Brand new, asking $1550.

I thought I'd love this bike, but after a short test ride, it sort of scares me. I'll stick with my Pugsley, thanks.

East side of Madison, holler if you have questions.

What scares you compared to the Pugs?

It makes me feel like a supervillain when I ride it. The Pugs feels more sure-footed and deliberate and my weight feels very centered on it.

By contrast, with those wide bars and long top tube the Krampus gets me wide and forward, and it feels like there's three 'speeds' of weight shift: extreme forward, centered, and extreme back. I feel like a predator on it, and while that's thrilling, it's not really my riding style.

I totally understand why it appeals to folks, and I plan to adopt some of what works for me onto my Pugs (1x9 drivetrain, 29+ wheels), but it just feels too advanced, too aggressive.

Anyway, I'm flexible on price.

Surly lists a 17" or 19".

It's a 2013, but yeah, 19". I was rounding down. Regret the error.

OK, thanks.

I modified the subject line to reflect that this is a LARGE Krampus.
