asked by: a guest
Will there be an option to get this as just a frame without the fork at some point?
A.
anwered by: canteau
Most likely not, Surly generally prefers to sell their models as framesets, but I'm sure if they get enough feedback that people just want the frame without the fork it might happen.

Q.
asked by: a guest
Can you still run a triple ring crank set with this frame
A.
anwered by: canteau
The Karate Monkey is designed to be used with a Boost offset front crank and chainline of which we haven't found a triple crankset that is offered in the new wider chainline so it may cause chain rub with a wider tire.
