(TL;DR) It is fricken gorgeous. And exceptionally rad. And I'm gonna tell you why in just a sec.
But first a few bona-fides and a little business (or jump straight to the "How does it ride?" review if you want).
I own several Surly bikes. Like to think I was an early adopter of the brand. Definitely a sympathizer, at least as far as their vibe goes.
My first Surly was a mud-brown Steamroller. Got it as a frame-set in 2000. Built it my way. Still have it. It's always been a fixie. It's a very fun bike to ride. But it will spank you in the ass without warning if you don't keep your head in the game. Not that that's necessarily always a bad thing...
