Same thing just happened with me. 58 Surly with a 26" fork and didn't realize it until LBS was putting the wheels on. Bought it over the net from universal cycles. They are sending out a new one and paying for shipping of the old one back. Have no idea if my LBS cut the fork, but will be suprised if Universal Cycles or Surly has the gall to ask me to pay for it if it was cut. Their screw-up, not mine.
