I live just outside of Albany, NY (the real upstate

Gordie - your San Jose is sweet! I am a Brooks saddle man, too. I do happen to like the looks of the Country Road Bob. You certainly don't see that style or color scheme on every corner.
I really appreciate everyones help. I considered the Surly Cross Check but despite not being much of a mechanic, I knew I'd start upgrading components if I was going through the build process. Since I am not sure if a Singlespeed will even serve my purpose, I decided buying an already built bike made more cents.
Just between us, do you guys ever miss a quiver of gears?
