I bought a Straggler frameset when they came out as there was nothing remotely like it at the time to accomodate a 650b wheelset and mudguards. While it was a very decent bike, it also was very heavy, and the forks flex a lot under braking (and I'm pretty light). The dropouts were a pretty bad idea too IMHO. Geo was spot on though.
Surly has done a lot of interesting things but as an owner I failed to see what the fuss around the brand was about. @cake is right, you can probably do better for the money, although that is probably a moot point if you already like them.
