Good thing it's too big for me...

If anyone is thinking about this you need to look at the Geometry. The cross check seat tube length is deceiving because it's shorter because it's a cross bike. I had to get a 46 and I usually fit on a 50-51. This one is a 52. The effective top tube is 547.1 and the stand over is 30.6. You can check the geometry here.

I totally agree with uforgot! I rode a 50cm Surly Cross Check and it was HUGE on me! I have a 50cm Bianchi Eros Donna. I ended up getting a ... wait for it... 46cm Long Haul Trucker... and it actually fits! I couldn't believe it!

Oooh, it's my size! I already have one (it's black), so I guess I can't justify it, eh?
I ride a 52 cm Surly, but a 56 cm Kona. So, yes, size *down* on a Surly CC!"If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
