This video goes through the new Surly Karate Monkey mountain bike build that I finalized in January 2020. This bike has the new 2020 Wet Clay Surly Karate Monkey frame with some high end components as well as some budget components. This is being run as a rigid till I can figure out what front suspension I want. I'm looking at potentially getting the RockShox Pike RCT3 29" 140mm 15x110mm 51mm Offset fork later down the road.
