Thanks for posting that. Very nice bike! That doesn't look bad at all. Maybe the image on the Surly site is one of the bigger framesets w/ the 26" wheels, or maybe it just looks funny on the website, since it's w/o fenders, racks, etc., and the more I ride w/ my rack and fenders, the more I come to think that bikes w/o those two items look odd generally, regardless of size of wheels.

You helped change my mind, at least on the 56/26 LHTs... Great, now when I finally am able to pull the trigger on one, I'm gonna have to try to decide between a 700 and a 26! And here I thought I had it all figured out...
