For a while I was looking at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salsacycles.com\/fargoComp09.html\">Salsa Fargo<\/a>, but now I&#8217;m starting to have other thoughts, steering me towards building up something myself. In particular, I&#8217;ve been thinking that a black <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surlybikes.com\/frames\/karate_monkey_frame\/\">Surly Karate Monkey<\/a> frame could do quite nicely with an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shimano.com\/publish\/content\/global_cycle\/en\/us\/index\/products\/0\/alfine.html\">Shimano Alfine<\/a> hub and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sram.com\/en\/avid\/mechanicaldiscbrakes\/bb7road.php\">Avid BB7 Road<\/a> disc brakes. With dirt drop bars and a <a href=\"http:\/\/jtekengineering.com\/jtek_bar-end_shifter.htm\">Jtek Engineering Bar-end Shifter<\/a>, I think this would be quite the machine for random go-anywhere-but-singletrack rides.<\/p>\n<p>Swapping the bars for a more standard mountain bike bar would even turn it into an interesting, fully rigid off-road device if I wanted to do that. Or, I could even consider something between the two like a <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/02\/16\/on-one-mary-bar-trial\/\">On-One Mary Bar<\/a> or Titec <a href=\"http:\/\/www.profile-design.com\/titec\/products\/handlebars\/other\/h-bar.html\">H-Bar<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.profile-design.com\/titec\/products\/handlebars\/other\/j-bar.html\">J-Bar<\/a>, as long as the brake levers chosen work right wtih the shorter pull BB7 Road calipers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been wanting a bike for more paved \/ dirt road uses, but something rugged enough to be banged around as I&#8217;m wont to do.&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2009\/10\/08\/new-bike-ideas\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New Bike Ideas<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cycling","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1965"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1965\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1966,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1965\/revisions\/1966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
