if you are small enough to use a frame Surly only offers 26 inch rims, I would no go with 700s.
I've been using a Trek 520 (700c) for the past 20 years. The only reason I'm looking for a new bicycle is that this Trek 520 (1999 model) doesn't accept both 35mm tires and fenders.
I'm already set on the Sutra. The shop has both frame sizes that I should be considering, and I tried and liked one of them already. I'll be getting it tomorrow.
