Hi, I have a CC 58cm and also a Bleriot 59cm...the Surly has a bit longer TT and also surprisingly is taller than the Bleriot even though the specs say this should be reversed.....For me the main difference is handlebar rise....I am using the fork without the stem cut...and still it feels short to me...by about 1.5-3 cm....where on the Bleriot I can use a dirt drop or technomic stem depending upon the height I need. That being said I like the CC fine and both bikes are set up with albatross bars.........
