I think the design of the B72 leads to early failure, the "springs" on...

About like the difference between a small sedan and a limousine. The DL has a cushy ride and once up to cruising speed, just keeps rolling along. It is one of those things that you just have to try...

Surly filled a niche that was missing in the market, affordable steel bikes in geometries that most big companies were ignoring.
