Don’t get me wrong I love Surlys. I own two of them (Karate Monkey and Wednesday), but the frames are heavy, even for steel.
Ever weight bare frames? For me 1lb is not that much difference. Look at tires and parts spec for weight savings. At 235 lbs, I call my 4 Surlys appropriate in sturdiness for my size. Especially all loaded up for bikepacking.
