Yes two of the shops I went to advertise Surly lines. The one that had the 2009 bike to sell had a 52 Cross Check that they said was too big for me before directing me to the other bike. And the shop that said he didn't think I needed a steel bike has Surly listed in their ad but I didn't see any Surly bikes there. I was willing to look at other steel bikes if they carried a different brand but no luck! I will try a couple of different shops a bit further away on my holidays.
