Commuting Bikes

[Crankin]

I read the thread on the LHT. I had been looking at Surly, but was thinking more along the lines of the Cross Check. But the LHT looks good. How much do these suckers cost? I can't easily f ind the price for the whole bike, only the frame.
I will have to go over to Harris Cyclery and see if they can get one of these. It seems like it would take a long time, and I probably wouldn't have it for the end of April.

My Cross Check was about $900. (complete bike)
The LHT we took out for a test ride was about $1200. (complete bike)

My two favorite LBS keep Surlies in stock. They don't do big model switches at the end of the year, so I'd be surprised if you couldn't get one before April. And since Surly *is* QBP, I'm sure Harris could get a complete CC or LHT as easily and quickly as my LBS. Look at those beauties... http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/surly.html Remind me I don't need another bike, please!

These are the complete Surlies: http://www.surlybikes.com/bikes.html My LBSs carry the CC and the LHT. I haven't seen a Steamroller at either yet, but I think the market here is more for bikes with a wide range of gears.
