A lot of racing-style riders use Excel and Colorado Cyclist as a source for racing parts, and one of those catalogs, maybe both, sells Surly frames and bikes, so many of those riders are probably in the know about Surly through that. Or is it that Surly began marketing in those catalogs because there was already an interest from that type of rider? Which came first?
