…and what’s the free/free flip/flop hub look like?

ps..... hmmm... .too snarky.... i should delete.

anyways - I like Surly. It's like they ask the question: "why not?", and then ignore any answers they might think of.
A free-wheeling Krampus or LowSide look appealing. I've not been able to convince myself I'd spend enough time on them to justify the cost -- so I'm spending a couple hundred bucks on a Roadside Rescue RockHopper. Not a wise use of money that could go towards the retirement or mortgage. But hey, the LBS-owner has to eat!
