I am a fan of Surlys and have owned several. The flat top tubes and short head tubes, however, always made it a challenge to get the bars where I wanted them. I love the long head tubes and quick up-down adjustment of the quill stems on the Rivendells. The Appaloosa fits me well and I'm confident that the Sam will exactly what I'm looking for in a "fast" bike. In my effiorts to get the fit of the Joe just right, I acquired a couple of extra stems and bars (including an Albatross), so I'll have options to work with when the frame gets here.
