Zen, what tires do you have on this bike? Can't say from the photo. Thanks!

The Surly Cross Check is a great bicycle too, although contrary to popular belief the steel Surly uses is fairly low-grade. It does come with good stock components, but you're paying a lot of money for steel that won't last as some of the cheaper bikes out there.

Surlys are 4130. This is an excellent frame material, nothing "low quality" about it, and it will likely outlast 90+% of anything made out of aluminum or carbon fiber. I would say it is extremely durable. The only caveat is that it is heavy.
