Today, I make it official. I have retired the Karate Monkey. This modified Surly frame set has served me well.

It never faltered, even in failure, it never let me down. So onto the wall it goes.

I purchased this frame and fork used from a good friend who got me back into mountain biking. He rode it lightly (compared to what I did on it) for about a year or so before giving me a deal on it.

It went through many modifications and alterations. I even changed to color a few times. This "cheap" frame and fork performed well...perhaps as well as many costing 4-5 times as much.
