Dredging up a super old thread!
Last year I finally did it. This 52cm. Cross Check followed me home from my LBS. The Soma Buena Vista went to my daughter. I never could really bond with that bike, which was a shame because it was such a beautiful build. I sold the Felt road bike to a friend because it was too twitchy on the terrible paths around here and I never felt safe on it. She loves it! The Kona Dew is sitting in the garage with studded snow tires on it. I can't work up much enthusiasm for riding it after riding steel. The only thing I have done on the Surly is moved my Brooks saddle and Velo Orange seatpost over from the Kona. I also swapped (not in the photo) the bars for Nitto Noodles and short reach Cane Creek brake levers. I love this bike!
