Wtf are you talking about? Surly is an American company, they make and sell those things here.

WTF are you talking about? The "Buffalo Bike" isn't a Surly; it's apparently designed by an organization called "World Bicycle Relief."

But you can’t buy a Buffalo Bike, or at least not for yourself. A $165 donation helps donate a bike to someone in need.
