Hmmmm...I've been toying with replacing my hybrid with a cross bike, but I don't want to spend $1300 (usual entry level price). We have a shop in town that sells the Bianchi Volpe, but it is on the other side of town and not very convenient.

My favorite shop sells Surly, but I would have to have them special order in the Crosscheck to test ride. With such a review, I'm going to have to seriously consider this. Thanks...
