Schwing! Nice, Surly are from the same house as Salsa (modern Salsa of course) toyed with the idea of a karate monkey before opting for the El Mariachi. Lovely bike though, black is definitely the erm new black!
Very nice bike. It looks old school but it's of course not. When you compare to the really old one you see the differences.
I also have an '92 marin and '94 marin. And if you I jump direct from my Steel 29er Genesis to these ones.......very rare feeling. And what's the best....good question?
