If it's not some daft price over here, I want one. Could replace my old broken Chameleon, the Kona Scab I couldn't break but sold on and wish I still had, and since it takes bigger tyres it could be loaded up for hack-packin'. Plus, gloss black and SS ready - done deal. Shame about the silly-size HT but I guess it makes sense, could lob an old Recon 100mm on there if there was one kicking around the office.
The last few releases from Surly have been really nice but I can’t get my head around this one. Definitely in the ‘need to ride it to see the fuss’ category for me, whilst the others I’d be throwing my money at if I wasn’t in the bike trade
It's the kind of thing I'd get my head around if I could get it for £299 F+F. On-One money. It's just a fun hack bike base, but it'll probably be in the usual 'you're totally off your rockers' UK RRPs of most QBP stuff.
Looks a hoot - grown ups BMX. I'll not be getting one as my single speed krampus will do similar things. I'll be getting myself some of those bars tho
I like the long head tube - looks in proportion to the frame and makes for high bars without a great stack of headset spacers. (I think the pics are the XL version)
Its such a bugger that we can't seem to get Surly's (or Salsas) for a decent price over here. I think QBP and Ison need to sort out some kind of direct import from Taiwan to here.
On one need to get some plus bikes sorted
It reminds me of a raleigh bomber for some reason, looks fun, looks fun but £750 is a lot for a basic machine.
I dare say you could put something similar together a lit cheaper.

My 2013 Fargo & 2014 Spearfish came through Ison as the then distributors and both had Townsends of Cambridge as the delivery address from the factory. I expect they both came in through Felixstowe just down the road from me. I doubt it gets routed via Bloomington!
Interestingly, while on the TD chatting with a US LBS owner they moaned how they couldn't get parts as cheap as CRC could. I countered that in the UK we moan about the price of complete bikes!
