Nice bike, makes me wish I had brought my Karate Monkey over here with me. You going to race it or purely a commuter?

Not gonna race... it's my car! maybe some quick club rides with a different set of wheels.
she's my commuter/car and touring. with the occasional fast ride with roadie friends.
Now there's a bike I can respect....
How tall are you? Inseam? I'm looking at getting a CC frameset, and I'm thinking 52cm, based on TT measurement. I'm 5'10" with a 32" pants inseam.
I went to a really cool fitting bike some bike guru, I am 5'11" w/ a 32" inseam and the 54 CM surly CC was dead on.....Nate at RIT said:

I ordered up a 52cm yesterday, based on the specs on Surly's website. The TT was exactly the same length on the 52 CC as it was on my Redline 54cm, which I loved. Plus this bike will probably see more trail/fireroad that paved road, so I wanted it a big smaller. Thanks anyway
Do you still have the Nova frame? I still haven't built up my Crosscheck.
Yeah I do still have the Nova frame. She worked wonderfully as a fixie this summer, and she's currrently in duty as a 'cross bike for a friend this fall. He didn't have the funds to build up his own bike, so he's been using that. Def getting my money's worth out of that sucker. Thanks again 
She'll either be a fixed or geared roadie next summer.
