What would you folks get in this range? Experience on any?
Masi Speciale CX
Surly Cross Check
Soma DC (custom build with similar specs to others)
Other options?
Thanks all.
Surly's are very popular with just about everyone. I saw some Masi's at Century Cycle in Medina OH a few weeks ago. They are very nice looking bikes. All Shimano equipped so, parts should be easy to find. I'm seriously thinking about buying a Masi SS this summer.
