I love these specs and geometry. The big head scratcher is why the straight 1-1/8" headtube. QBP announced another new steel bike, the Surly Midnight Special "all-road" bike with a 44mm headtube. The ability to run a tapered fork in the future would have been nice.

They said the fork is because they like steel for non race applications, but you can run the same fork in a 44 so it's a dumb excuse. It still made my friend's list though. \n \nThe new Surly has a 65mm bb drop. That's ridiculous with big tires and a flat top tube.
