In the first picture most of the bike is out of focus, and the second and third picture don't really show anything. Only the fourth picture is kinda bike porn because it's showing off gear.
If the first picture was in focus, the second picture included more of the saddle, cranks, and wheels, and the third picture included more of the fork these would all be fine pictures.
Ultimately probably still controversially "bike porn" because it often times feels like if it it's not some 1kg $18,000 race bike no one ever rides it people will complain about it.
Surly bikes are a QBP product made out of lower end steel. It's a bike for the masses to look cool and rad, but it's still a mid-quality (at best) brand name bike. Nothing exotic or porn-worthy about it.
It was every hipster's wet dream to have a fixed-gear Surly in the 2000's - how unique!
FWIW, I have a Ti frame produced by a former QBP company (Foundry). It's nice, but not the greatest. Not even in the same galaxy as my Vanilla, Seven or T-Lab.
No because portrait mode doesn’t work for pictures of bikes.
Pretty sure this is the 'food' mode.
Do you do Tracklocross with this lovely bike? Pretty cool!
Ofc I do :D I use it to go to work but half the path/travel is tracklocross <3 I'm doing \~100km a week with \~50km on very dirty roads Thanks :)
Bike is awesome, photos are crap. Well done build, OP!
Thankss!!!! But why do you think photos are crap ?

Only the frame is made by Surly
Yep 👍
I see :) Will post
Surly is one of the best, I’m sure all of us can agree.
Is that an all city fork?
Surly! Sorry, couldn't resist :P
for a surly? nah.
You’ll grow up one day
I did - which is why I don't ride junk frames.
Elaborate on your opinions here. I’m curious
