Surly

[Catrin]

Yeah. People always comment on how small my bikes are anyways. *chuckle*
I'm 5'3'' so I get that a lot.

I went for the blue. I couldn't get over how nice your bike looked. Black is always a color for bikes, but blue doesn't come around in a shade I like very often. Fenders will be mounted first and I have a beat up rack that was on one of my old bikes until I can get a quality one. The bars/shifters are already good for me. I like bar ends. I like utility bikes. I didn't want to give in to it, but I did.

It is interesting that, to my eye at least, my Trek 7.6 looks MUCH bigger than Sully does - until I park them next to each other it is just the geometry that makes the Trek look larger.

I WAS getting racks and fenders this week, until I decide to convert it to riser bars and trigger shifters... the racks will have to wait a bit... I am glad you like bar ends - and they probably would have been fine if I had a few years experience, but I don't want to wait that long to ride my lovely steel steed!

I have learned that Surly seems to have a problem with sending the wrong size brake levers with the smallest sizes, might want to give your LBS the heads up. I will also have 48cm Salsa Poco bars for sale in a couple of weeks in case you don't want the 50cm that comes with it .... Just saying
