Geez guys - thanks.
Good thing I ordered it this morning, I suppose.
It should be in and built up by the end of next week - I also got it for $985 and noticed on Surly's site that MSRP just went up.
For further clarification, this will be one of 4 bikes for me - roadie, SS roadie, ice bike, LHT. It'll be my daily commuter/car replacement (we are a one car household) and I'm planning a tour next summer with my brother in law. I literally cannot wait for it to arrive. Riding my current commuter is almost disappointing thinking about how smooth the ride of the LHT is....
Thanks again!
