No, that's pretty typical with Surlys. Again, it's their slightly-longer-than-average TTs.

With a much shorter stem, my 50cm CC now fits but -- in a perfect world -- it'd be considered technically too big. Indeed my fitter was not optimistic about getting a fit he'd consider "good enough", even with all the swap-outs. But it's all been okay after all -- and I'm a long distance rider so comfortable fit is pretty important!

Shame they don't make a 48cm. I did try a 46cm but that felt like a clown bike.
