Cupcakes' Surly Cross Check

Ohh, I see. Lucky you.

Once I decided I was getting one I gave it about a week prowling eBay before I caved and bought new. Actually this is my first properly new bike frame in well over a decade. Let's not mention the numerous secondhand ones...

Yet to dip my toe in the murky world of new frames. 20 or so used ones over the past few years, but never a new one. One day, perhaps.

I has been on the look out for a 56 for a while and then one came up on here for cheap so snapped it up. I was tempted by new as the used market is so terrible for cross checks. Must be because they're so AWESOME.
