Oh, I'll definitely call shops to confirm the Vaya before I leave. The website of a much-closer-to-home LBS stated that they carried Surly, but it turned out that they don't keep Surlys in stock but can order one "from the warehouse". First, I'm pretty sure there isn't a warehouse full of Surlys waiting around to be shipped out. Second, why would I buy a bike without trying it out first? So I started calling around, and Grand Rapids Bicycles seems to be the closest one with the Cross-Check and Straggler actually in the store.
