Thought I'd post an updated photo of my Steamroller. Building up a Genesis Fugio at the moment on a very tight budget, but aiming to revamp Shirley once I'm done.
This photo isn't entirely up to date, but it is more recent than the last one. Since my last post I've changed the bars (Ritchey Road Curve), BB (Miche Primato), chain (KMC X9SL), chainwheel (Stronglight CT2 48T) and tyres (Halo Twin Rail Courier, 24mm).
Changed BBs a few times to try and find a better chainline and ended up ripping a few teeth off my freewheel due to misalignment and a track chain (KMC k710). The drivetrain changes mean that it feels a lot quicker than before, particularly with the White Industries 16T cog.
It's a great bike!
Not sure why people come onto this forum to be critical, a well built Steamroller is a thing of joy.
