Surly = QBP
Salsa = QBP
Not sure if they let the separate divisions run their own show, but Surly could have taken some cues from Salsa to remain somewhat relevant in the fat bike market for the fans of Steel. But even then...fat bikes are heavy enough on their own. Steel makes it even worse. Steel is why I never purchased a Pugsley early on and is eventually why I moved from an Aluminum Fat bike to a Carbon Fat bike.
