plenty of people want to sell you something at least equivalent for less dorrah - this isn’t a case of Surly making something unique - they are late to the party and look expensive.

Oh totally, I'm not at all down with the fat headtube, forks, frame colour. I just happen to have all the stuff to build it up already at home and may be able to take advantage of the exchange rate or crazy US second hand bargains somehow. Definitely not going out of my way to get one.
I really want to build up another steamroller or maybe a pacer just to piss around on while I'm down here as the sizing/geo seems to feel better for me than the Straggler/Crosscheck I've had previously.

Just move to the US, $625 for the frameset. Might pick one up on the way home (assuming I can convert my Hope Trials hub to 12mm)...
