Hi guys! I'm trying to get back into biking (mainly paved roads for 8+ miles), and found a modded 1×1 surly beast. I already have a MTB and want to know if this would be good for a heavy tall rider (320lb+, 6'4") for a commuter?
P.S. I'm a complete biker noob for the most part but willing to learn
$650
Frame: Surly 1×1 XL
Rims and wheels: DT Swiss with Rene Herse hybrid wheels
Drivetrain: 1×11 microshift
Brakes: Mechanical cable disk

Should make a good commuter, as long as the seat post moves it is a good bike. The knobby tires might not last super long with extended road riding but it is easy enough to replace when they wear out. Thrown on a good set of full fenders. Has it been listed long? I would consider offering 500-550 and see what they say.
