Even more interesting, in the comment thread, Surly says " In the future, the Cross-Check will only be available as a frameset"
To be a total *******, if it doesn't exist on Europe it's bad value for money. We have much less money and every penny counts.
The framesets do exist over here. But the bike as a total purchase doesn't exist.
I think that about says it all.
A $1000 bike without a long-cage rear mech would be a deal-breaker for most people over
all.
