OOOOOH! I just called a bike shop about 2 hours away and they have both Aurora's (53) and Surly's (CC (50) & LHT (52)) IN STOCK. The sizes they have are a size or two bigger than what I would probably ride, but somewhat close. Considering I've not seen a single Aurora (except for my old *** one) and only a 56cm Cross Check, this is promising news!

So, ROAD TRIP this weekend. YES!
