I *heart* my enablers...

Yeah, I know. I wish more than super-narrow team-branded saddles came in red. (There is the SI saddle that almost worked, but no thanks.) I've had my eye on a black Surly Cross Check as an all-arounder and tank. I'd put a red saddle, bar tape and tires on it if I could! (Or orange...or pale blue...or...)

(While we're at it, do you think I can persuade my Jett and my SI to breed? Their offspring would be ideal, actually.)

Ha, wouldn't that be awesome if we could plug a bunch of attributes into a machine and have it spit-out the perfect saddle?!

The Cross Check is a sweet bike. I borrowed a friend's a couple of months ago for a dirt/gravel road ride. Really smooth and stable...but, holy crap, what a tank! I don't know how she did cyclocross races on that. It's HEAVY! I could barely lift it standing. To run with that and hop over barriers...ow!

Good job I want it as a tank! (It'd be a winter and unpaved trail bike.) If it is that heavy...wow. My roadie, fully loaded, is quite enough.
Enough threadjacking from me. Back to the very lovely bike at hand.
Little Rock is lighter, I assume?

Little Rock is lighter, I assume?

I think she is just under 21#s, so not super light. But I think the Surly was closer to 30. My road bike is just over 17.
