You guys, hey you guys!!! *excited up and down jumping*

After staring at my B-17 for a few months, taking it off my 520 and wondering what I should do with it - I came to a revelation!

I swapped my Lithia to my 520 and put my B-17 onto my Surly LHT. You know what? The upright riding position made all the difference! It is infinitely more comfortable on my Surly than it ever was on my Trek. Now I really want to swap out my stem on the 520 and get another one. *rubs hands together* HA!!!
(Note: I feel silly that I didn't think of this before. WooOOO!)

Initial results are good. Like riding on air, even in the freezing cold.
