It's long been known that the guys at Surly Bikes march to the beat of a different drummer. They seldom are constrained by conventional bike industry thinking. Good thing because they come up with some pretty cool and useful products for real people that ride real bikes. Their latest offering has even me scratching my head but I am hopelessy unable to balance myself on a unicycle so that is probablly part of my problem. For you gifted (in a good way) folks that that love to ride unicycles, Surly presents the Conundrum Unicycle Frame.
Now this rig isn't for the faint of heart. This is an off-road unicycle. It is stout and ready to build up for your next single wheel off-road adventure.

Requires Magura hydraulic rim brake. Brake bosses are spaced 120mm apart (center to center) for use with Surly Large Marge rim.
