Just not a lot of options right now with the bike shortages ... it's kind of crazy. I checked with bike shops in 3 states. Even the shop I mentioned earlier in this thread, that told me they had the Surly Wednesday in stock … it turns out they never actually had it. They said they were getting some in "any day" and then the manufacturer sold out before they got them.
