I see a lot of dudes my age rolling on a Surly these days. They really have nailed that punk rock/ hipster cyclist market. Although I know the bikes they make fit my criteria, and they may be fine bikes, I don't want to feel as though I am buying into the image more than the product. It's more a moral thing that a problem with their bikes.

It's a hard idea to explain I guess, but it comes down to they present themselves as something they are not. I can elaborate more if you want, I feel I may be being a little unclear.
