Its the same reason I started with a SS as well. I haven't seen the kona frame (or like design) up close yet, but it doesn't seem like it would be any greater of a problem than any other part of the bike.

I've been trying to find a decent aluminum SS frame because of the massive salt loads dropped on the roads here, but most seem to be cro-mo. I need a bike that is painted with a teflon derived paint. Or some kind of spray that I can reapply (without decreasing the strength of the welds).

The surly 1x1 and karate monkey both allow for narrower and wider style wheels, so for me that is a plus, as I would like have two sets of wheels for the SS.
