I've never met anyone who spoke poorly of their Surly! A Surly Pacer is also a bike that's almost there, but not quite. I guess what I'm visualizing is a Taiwanese tig welded, powder coated Roadeo (zippy country bike, 57mm brakes) with <$600 Surly/Salsa/SOMA pricing. The SOMA San Marcos more like it, but tig it, (single) level top tube, 1/18 threadless stem. I wish someone would work with Grant to get a bike like that in regular production. Maybe there isn't a market for it, but seems to me like it would be the perfect bike!
