My idea is a higher seat tube. Xc is about position on the saddle, mtn is not so.
Surley has chromo frames @ 400. Instagator? The bent toptube thing.
The fork I've got is an Answer Skareb Elite, 80mm of travel. Nothing fancy, but, you know. And yeah I'm showing a lot of seatpost.
Not a fan of the Surly frames. Price and quality of the tubing don't quite mesh.
