My 18″ Surly Pugsley is for sale in Albuquerque, NM. This is a unique build designed for exploration in all conditions. $1200 as shown. Local pick-up only. E-mail me at nicholas.carman(at)gmail.com.
For sale is a 2006 18″ Surly Pugsley, custom built for dirt touring and exploring remote places on rough tracks. The 120tpi Surly Knard tires are incredibly supple, and are setup tubeless to lightweight Surly Marge Lite rims with Stan’s sealant. Both wheels are hand built, and include a Shimano generator hub up front, which powers a Supernova E3 Pro headlight and a B&M Toplight Line Plus taillight. The headlight is one of the brightest dynamo lights on the market, and is encased in a durable aluminum housing. Fenders are custom made of recycled fender hardware, an aluminum rib, and coruplast (recycled election sign). The fenders keep the rider and drivetrain cleaner in wet or dusty conditions. They are well suited to trails, and have survived a full year of use. Rivnuts have been installed on the underside of the downtube for a Salsa Anything Cage or a standard water bottle cage. The top cap H20 mount and the extra holes under the downtube and on the fork ensure that you can carry enough water for desert adventures, even when paired with a full framebag. The fork is an aftermarket Pugsley fork with a 100mm hub spacing for a dynamo hub, or any standard front hub. It would readily accept a standard 29″ wheel if you wanted to build a 29″ wheelset for the bike.
I commuted through a winter in Anchorage, AK on this bike, and toured from Alaska to New Mexico last summer. There isn’t anything you can’t do on this thing, especially with so many useful attachments points, tubeless tires, and dynamo lighting.
The steerer tube is uncut and the bike would fit a rider between 5′ 7″ and 6′.

Please e-mail to arrange a meeting or test ride. I live near the Bosque so you could test ride the bike along sandy singletrack trails. Serious inquiries only.
Man…if I was still a long haul trucker at any of my this-century gigs,I’d be driving right through there (and I wouldn’t be so dang broke….just no way 😦 )…wish you luck with a fast sell,my friend,if my own situation were different (or what it was pre-2008) I’d take it off your hands.

I am interested, but it would require shipping of the bike. If shipping is not a deal breaker, email me at justonaugust@gmail.com.
Thanks

So sad to see you selling the Pugs Nick, but enjoy the 29er and your tours in Europe!

Sad tht you have to sell your pugs. Im looking for one, but haven’t decided between a pugs or a dummy. I have a trucker so more than likely its gonna be a pugs. Live in NE so it would be one heckofa long haul to come get. Best of luck!
Hey-
Know it’s been awhile, but is the Pugsley still for sale?
Cheers-
Jake
Sorry Jake, it has sold.
