Oh indeed.... he had to with my bike trapped under his car.... pulled it right out of my hands. Thank goodness I wasn't pushing a stroller or walking a dog!

I love my Casseroll. You won't be sorry.

:D

..... or holding on real tight. Insured? No of course not. :mad: :rolleyes:

But all in all Seattle drivers seem quite nice at least compared to where I'm from.

Back Alley in Chapel Hill has some Surly Bikes in stock too - if you happen to need a different size.

Thanks! I think I need a 50cm based on the size of my Luna. I'll be there next week for a few days for work...perhaps I can come test it out if it's not too inconvenient with your house situation and all. I hadn't heard of Back Alley. I'll look into them. Thanks for the tips!

It should be fine:) We had a little party at 7:45 this morning (home inspector, structural engineer, realtor, us), but *should* be calmer the rest of the week. I would call or email Back Alley first. He has some in stock - but I have no idea what sizes (he mostly does repairs).

I think mine is a 50cm. Surly measures a bit odd - but as best I can tell that's what it is (I bought it 2nd hand).

I just purchased a Salsa Casseroll single 2010 and the color is ginger beer. I'm putting my Brooks Finnesse saddle on it and Drillium pedals. It will have brown wrap tomorrow and a White Industries freewheel soon. I've had it only 3 days and have ridden mostly in town. Soon school will be out and longer rides begin. I really like how they clear coat over the decals and other nice finishes. So far really nice ride. Her name is Ginger.

Sounds lovely and congratulations! Will you post a picture?

Still waiting for WI freewheel and JB tires. Later I will add the bamboo fenders.

Love it!

*whistles* Very nice! Classy bike!

ohhh very nice!

So I went to buy my bike today, and they're in the process of building one up. They said it takes about a day to build, and they're closed tomorrow. I work Tue-Fri, so no bike for me til Saturday. Very anxious and impatient!!

How exciting!! Post pictures as soon as you can.

I am drooling over the Salsa Casseroll. It will be a perfect everyday adjunct to my racy bike, for everyday errands and touring! I like how you can run 700c x 38mm road tires for long trail rides :)

Turns out a bike shop within an hour of me has one in my size. I am going to have to test ride it soon!! I can barely wait.

The thread and I found each other today. I'm going to ride a Salsa Casseroll tomorrow. Hope I like it as much as you all seem to.

:)
