Hi there!
I'm new to the forum. Actually I'm pretty green when it comes to all things cycling. I have lots of questions but I'll start with this. Which should I buy when I figure out what I want: a complete bike with factory components or a frame? I'm thinking about getting either the surly LHT or the surly Cross check but that's a whole other post, I think. But there is not one bike shop with 200 miles of me (at least that I know of) that carries surly so it's not like I can go out and test ride one or even check out the frames. I've heard lots of good things about surly and like the idea of the steel frame. Especially since I'm planning on going a little bit of everywhere. Any comments or opinions?
Thanks,
Gray
