I've known this for a long time, had the bike for about 6 years and, I don't particularly like it.
I sold a frame I was enjoying owning and riding, it did what I wanted from it and more, I also liked the look of it and the brand felt right too. However, it didn't fit in with my work and I felt the time to move it one. Some other options came and went very quickly , some built up, some ridden too, but I ended up with a Bridge Club.
Now, I like Surly, I have another and I've owned many over the years , I would probably buy another one too but, this Bridge Club just doesn't do it for me.
It does exactly what it is required to do, very well in fact, however it could be the colour ( bad smile green ) the aesthetic, or even the fit, although it does feel comfortable, anyway I just don't like it and don't look forward to riding it when required to do so. I only have 2 bikes now so have made this the mudguarded option so it gets ridden on the shitty days.
I know I don't really like disk brakes , and I know I prefer a horizontal tt . Bah....
