If you don't believe me, go thru all the loaded tour bike pics thread.
To be fair to all those riding comically small frames, Surly also has a serious problem with designing frames which have short headtubes.
What you say may(and probably) have some truth, but their road frames at least are hurting for more headtube height in a bad way.
