I am only sort of joking.
Otherwise, there are many, many bike shops in the cities. Try out a wide variety of bikes and see what you like. It is a great city to bike shop. (I would stay away from the one's with suspension forks).
I have been keeping my eyes open for a Surly but not much has come up!
You are right, this is a great place to shop for a bike and I will ride as many as I can before making a decision.
Several people have said to stay away from the suspension forks... Can you explain why you would avoid them? Would you say to avoid them even if they have a lockout?
Thanks
