I’ve owned this bike since new (March 2012), with frequent use up until October 2013. It doesn’t fit me perfectly – hence the sale – but I’ve ridden it approx. 4500 kilometers. It’s quick, light, responsive, steady on fast descents ‑ just a joy to ride.
CONDITION
Mechanically it’s been very well looked after. A new chain and rear mech were fitted last August just before the bike was “retired”. The cassette and crankset are in very good shape, little sign of wear. Tyres and brake pads likewise – lots of “meat” and miles to go.
Cosmetically, it has lots of very fine scruffs over much of the paintwork. No dents, nothing wearing through the paint. A few scuffs on components e.g. crank arms, STI levers, handlebars.

I'll attach the geometry chart from Surly's 2011 catalogue to next post. For size 50cm, the seat tube measures 50cm and the effective top tube length is 53 cm.

Bar tape: new black F’zik tape just fitted
Fork/steerer has been left UNCUT, giving maximum flexibility for handlebar height

ALSO INCLUDED:
WTB saddle that came new with my other Surly. Never used but has some small scrapes from knocking around the garage.
One bottle cage.
NOT INCLUDED:
Pedals – though we can throw something temporary on if you come for a test ride.
Computer: A Cateye Velo8 wired computer was fitted to the bike its entire “life”. It has been removed in preparation for this sale, but is available to the buyer for £10. Nice if you want to have a computer already set up for this bike and holding all its ride data.

Price: £650.
Also being advertised on my blog, via Facebook and Twitter. If not sold by end of April, it'll go on Ebay. Please do feel free to PM me with any questions!
