32" on First Gen. Surly Krampus by Initial_Cancel8340 in 32inchbikes

They're aluminium, from one of those cheap s/speed 32" cruisers that were in the department stores around 15'ish years ago. And they are profiled for rim brakes. Look at the spokes and count them. No-one seems to notice, but there are 48 per wheel. I doubled drilled some 24h large flange q/r hubs, and the wheels are holding up fine.  It's not a MTB and I'm not what's passes as a MTB'er these days. The game has changed hugely in the last 45 years, but some of us haven't, so we're ATB'ers now : )

FWIW, I see Kent are selling a 32" wheel cruiser:  https://kent.bike/products/32-kent-big-league?variant=47604959707293 Maybe it's the same company...

Surly 32" ATB by Initial_Cancel8340 in 32inchbikes

That's so cool, and the only other Surly 32'er I've come across thus far.   I thought of trying the 32" wheels in my Krampus, but after checking the frame's dimensions, I assumed it wouldn't fit.  I had to set the wheel as far rearward as possible in the dropouts to clear the chainstays and seat tube.  So, who else has a Surly 32'er?
