What do you think it weighs?

Why on earth do they sell it with a KH rim? The whole point of the frame
is that it can fit the large marge rim and endomorph tyre. Presumably
the brake won't reach the rim as the mounts are setup for the LM, do
they use adaptors or somethign?

wtf?



they are selling a great muni, but are ruining it, because it doesn't
have a good distance seat (imo), doesn't have the good rim which is the
only reason the frame exists in the first place, and is overpriced
because they got a wheelbuild from that kovachi guy.

To all you Surly people - since the frame is $260 retail, what does a
good Conundrum-framed uni cost to build from scratch w/LM rim and other
components of general creamy goodness?

Seems like $995 is pretty steep without the brake, no? Does anyone
think it's twice as good as a plain-jane KH24?

There's not a 24" Endomorph tyre yet, right? Maybe that's why they're
putting the KH wheelset on - and the frame is then ready to upgrade
when it becomes available...

Doesn't explain why they didn't put a LM rim on though... Maybe they
have trouble getting hold of them, or think it's unnecessarily wide for
the 24x3 tyre, or something...

Maybe someone should ask them?

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

it's about $795 without brake and with a thompson seatpost. moment
cranks and such.

edit: that's without assembly and shipping costs.

They charge you $200US for a kovachi wheel build?

The pic looks nice with the *proper* stuff *that it was made for*. I
guess they're over their "Charity money limit" (the excuse they made
when I was *about* to get around $1000 of stuff and wouldn't give a
penny free).
