Today’s road bikes are tricky little buggers. Sure, there’s still a place for super narrow, pizza cutter-esque tires that save watts and shave grams or whatever. There’s probably still even a place for a road racing bike. Those places still exist. Surly just don’t know - or particularly care - where they are. When it comes to road bikes, they just want to toss a few bananas into their pockets and see where the road takes them. Surly seek out varied surfaces on their rides and frequently go from pavement to gravel to shittier pavement.

An excellent and versatile frameset for the price. It built up easily and rides well. The only thing to be aware of is the stand-over height is somewhat greater than the nominal frame size would make you think. I purchased a 56 cm frame and it is "taller" than my 57cm Litespeed and other 56cm Surly frames I have owned even using the same wheel and tire size. Look carefully at the geometry and specifications before choosing your frame size.
