Surly is a proletariat offshoot of a large bike industry supplier, and they are remarkably well accomodated and designed by riders that actually use those bikes.
i think their frameset diversity is as great and as complete of a quiver any bicyclist would ever need. and the frame touches are nice. who includes a chain hanger on bikes anymore? sweet...and FATTIES FIT FINE is a very beneficial to real world bicyclists who realize that, yes, bigger really IS better. I run 35s and 37 wide tires and they are the pothole eating, curb hopping skids every rider needs for real world road conditions.
keep the fancy pants, totally unrealistic, delicate 20's and 23's for the weekend club rides so everyone can stand around several times and watch your fellow riders get frustrated wrestling with latex while dressed in spandex- kinky!
