The Surly Cross Check is looking pretty good. I don't think I would go with disc on this but might try and add a set of linear pull brakes at some point since I much prefer to adjust and work with them compared to cantis. I have some time to keep looking so I plan on using every minute of it.
On a side note. I was surfing the web last night and came across a site that had 'cross frames on sale for $199 or something like that down from $400 or so dollars. Only one problem, I failed to write down or bookmark the site.
Has anyone seen this or know what I am talking about?
