that's my experience as well: while there aren't many Surlys around here, the ones I know of are ridden daily and seriously by folks who just love to ride their bikes.
A couple of times a week the racers fly past me on the road but since they see me out there riding as often as they are, they've accepted my big ol' touring bike as an equal member of the cycling universe...
