Surly, creator of difficult bikes for difficult people with a clarity of humor, has pulled back the screen on the forthcoming year's new products. There are many updates to existing lines (the Long Haul Trucker support will moreover be existing with hoop stop mountings, for instance), and a span of new bikes. Here, though, we'll examine the new Moonlander. Why collect on this one? Well, only look at it:
Crazy, right? The space-colored (black with "metal kindness flakes") support sits atop a span of wheels that would may float over only about anything. The Clownshoe rims are 100mm wide, and have holes cut in them to cut down on weight (960 grams or 2.1 pounds). And yes, it would be present that rubber bulges by these holes. The be-holed Clownshoe will cost $200.
Onto these slapstick rims (which will moreover advance in a non-holy, heavier and cheaper version) goes the Big Fat Larry, a 26×4.7, 120tpi tire that's as rotund as your top arm. The tire is listed as "tire colored," and it should be on sale any time right away for $140.
The Moonlander itself has a couple of special mods to let the sequence coherent these outrageous wheels. Surly has modded its Mr. Whirly cranks in to the MWOD Mr. Whirly Offset Double. This puts the chainrings serve out (the back circle has a relating offset) to coherent the tire. The crankset will liner in late September for $310.
Should you opt for only the Moonlander frame, you can have it in late September, too, for $700. The full bike will arrive in December, for $2,350.
