I do realize, and am fully ready to admit that, I am being sort of ridiculous on this whole Surly thing. Like I said earlier though, it is moral (and pehaps philosophical) problem.
Moving on...I have considered a used cross bike (I dig bar end shifters and they tend to have what I want) or even a used touring bike maybe (any thoughts on touring bikes people?). I am gonna stop a few places before I go home and see what they've got.
Revtor, what are you building?

i have a surly cross check that i love to death, sometiems i run it geared and sometimes i run it fixed/singlespeed. salsa has something similar but doesnt have the tire clearance that the cross check does.
