Lieren--This is a question probably better suited to a PM, but apparently I can't send those yet...
Which shops in Philly have you been looking for the LHT in?? I just moved here (last week) and am also looking for a commuter/grocery hauler/etc and would like to test ride some Surlys, and if you could point me in the direction of a couple shops with demos I'd be thrilled
Also (random Philly bike shop question), do you know of any local shops with good used parts bins?? I want to build my commuter with downtube shifters and other assorted older parts to keep cost/maintenance down and I'd like to locally source them if possible...
Thanks
