Where do you Live? Go to The Surly Website and look for dealers. Don't be afraid of a steel bike
For me, it was the answer to road fatigue. If your head can't get wrapped around a touring bike than look at the cross check and the straggler. Both come in smaller sizes. BIG NOTE - if you were in my shop I would be putting you on a bigger bike than any racing style bike. Go read about the bike on our website. Happy Shopping
