Also, if you liked the Surly (Crosscheck maybe?), but it's out of your price range, take a look at the Bikes Direct Motebecane Fantom CXX. It has a steel frame and geometry suspiciously like the Crosscheck. It's $799:

I considered both of those before finally going with the Schwinn Slicker from Nashbar...

Curiosity: How do you like the Slicker? I've been drooling over that one for awhile now, but the wife would probably end my life if I got another bike...I just love the simple 1x9 setup and the classy styling. Your thoughts after riding it?
