Okay, I bought this 2011 Surly Cross Check in Robin's Egg Blue a month ago and was unable, for some reason, to upload photos. I have now resized it and will try again. It's a size 52, has a Brooks B17S saddle in Honey, Panaracer Pasela tires (700x32c) and natural color cork bar tape. Here it is on the Portland waterfront.

Nice bike. I really like the colour. I want one too but must desist. How are you finding the bar end shifters?

So pretty! I've been admiring that bike for a while. I love the robin's egg blue paint! Every time I see it in the shop I have to remind myself that I already have a steel around-towner/all-purpose bike in my Bridgestone. Getting rid of the RB-2 would be the only way I could justify adding a CrossCheck...but it still tempts me every time.
