When the folks who work for Surly join this thread I suppose my work here is done...
Of course I'll just pick it up elsewhere. This entire thread has been saved.

.Never owned a Surly product, but kind of always wanted to. They do have a certain mystique about them, and you certainly don't see one every day that's for sure. I've built up and ridden a couple of LHT's that we sold to some beginner tourists, and IMHO they're pretty well done. The geometry works well, they ride and handle nicely, and the quality of fit and finish was pretty much top notch. I can find nothing to gripe about on at the least that model of Surly. It's still a dream of mine to own one someday. I guess their marketing works for me. I enjoy the humor.,,,BD

made with DB mains and straight gauge stays, like the old Tretubi frames.

The OP is a plumber or electrician (I think the latter) and directed his ire at another BF-er who is also in the trades and seem to threaten him with some inside info about that state of his license. All in good fun, of course!

Also I don't get the part about some posting saying surly bike is cheap...1200$ is not cheap for their specs. Reasonable, hardly.
