I love my Surly Crosscheck as my roadie. Magnificent bike.

Do you use the drops ever?

I had a cross check. Not very good as a roadie, pretty good fun for bombing about on though, especially fire roads!

Never! 😆
But I'm a novice roadie and find them too much of a stretch.
I'm not sure why its not a good roadie but coming from an experienced mtb background it works well for me.

on one have some very good deals on new (Italian?) frames of some sort, they look pretty good at the price (300). The put some WoundUps or Alpine carbon forks on it and your away.

Also used Ti goes for around £350-600 with a carbon fork attached, and likely a headset in-between for good measure.
