Wow, that's pretty good news, and I guess I have some options to weigh. I'd love to get a Surly, and it would probably be cheaper to buy a complete bike. But I'd also really like the project of putting it together myself. A third option would be to get a super cheap used bike and take it all apart. But I've done that once before, and spent lots of time getting mad at stuck bolts. (A couple just couldn't take my mannish strength... ooops.) Anyway, this has all been helpful advice so far. Thanks again!
