Such as? (I know there are other good bikes, but what specifically are you thinking of?)

Agreed. But these are practical bikes, not see-me bikes.

If you love your Schwin (and if it will take snow tires for Denver winters), why not just build it up? Use the money you were going to spend on the Surly to buy kick-a$$ components, gear and lights.
As much as I love my Surly, you should ride the bike you love.
