I knew I still needed a steel cross!!!

N + 2--> A super smooth steel fixie and a Tri-cross do anything. Yea!

It also has disc brakes, and I could save some weight by upgrading the components to Rival or getting it some new wheels.
Well, just so you know, the Cross Check has semi-horizontal dropouts with adjusters to give you single-speed compatibility and wheel base adjustability. The Gnot-rite spacing (132.5mm) allows you to run 130mm road hubs and 135mm MTB hubs. (I copied this verbage from the Surly website). So, see, you can have a steel fixie and tri-cross in the same bike. lol
