I have a Felt Verza City 3. It's fine. I think I'm just looking to do something different. The end result of having the perfect bike is only part of my interest here - I really want to learn more, try out a different bike with a different feel. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of opportunities to try out a wide variety of different bikes - so I'm going to take a shot in the dark and hope that I like it!
I went ahead and ordered the Surly Cross-Check Frame - I read a lot of reviews, blogs, opinions, and talked with some people I've met. Everyone I talked to was pretty enthusiastic about it their bike. I might not be blown away - but I can't imagine I won't be happy with it.
