Does it matter that it is a 2005?

I haven't test rode the bike yet. The shop does
Surly- I super jealous of your bike!! I remember our LBS had one purple in a large frame and I would just drool. Purple is my favorite color and that bike is stunning, you lucky girl!

Thanks Aggie, it is one gorgeous bike and its one of the few bikes I have ever ridden that fit me. (I'm vertically challenged at only 5'). The guys at Gear Works put a triple on mine and upgraded it to a 10 speed. You might want to see it they would do that for you, otherwise you can always swap out later. I have yet to see another purple one.
