Crunchin' The Benjamins

The grand folks up at corporate crunched the numbers and the results were fairly positive considering the circumstances for 2009. What's in it for me? Bonus! What's that mean? Bikes parts and house fund. Although a large chunk of my extra Benjamins are going to sit in the house fund, I feel it is only right to do something fun with some as well.

Surly Big Dummy, Vermont 2010 road trip, chalet kickin' it for 4 nights, here I come! Still trying to determine all the specifics of the third Surly in the fleet, but a few of the "somewhat solidified" component choices are below. Avid BB7 brakes with big ol' rotors, SRAM X9 derailleurs and shifters, Titec H-bar, goofy old Big Dummy, Brooks B17 saddle, and the Truvativ Stylo 3.3 crankset. The biggest question still at hand, black or army green frame?
