I was trying to be subtle but that was clearly lost - the reach on a surly is as long / longer than road race bikes known for having particularly long reach geometry; advising someone to size up generally isn’t sensible with a bike, regardless, as you can always make a smaller frame ‘bigger’ with longer stem/stack/post etc but you cannot make a bigger frame smaller.
Especially one that already has a longer reach than most bikes.
