Steaming Surly Rollergeddon

Been having a poke around.
Been shining a torch down tubes, from what i can see all tubes are actually coated inside, the online manual states "ED Coating"
This is a step up on my older Karate Monkey where i tend to do a healthy squirt of WD40/GT85 down the tubes after wet races, and of course remove seatpost, steelers need some loving.

Rear dropouts are 120mm, and fork is 100.5mm ( been playing with calipers )
Top tube and seat tube and down tube 29mm, HT 37.3mm

My KM has 29mm top and seat tube and a lower ring reinforced 38.3mm headtube.

Seat and chainstays appear to be the same stock tube.

Just read the warning label on the seat tube :) Surlys are bad for your health nowdays. I will put this down to the frame saver treatment and USA laws.

Cage and rack/guard holes are fine (Dolan needed tapping through)

Paint is a bit thin in places with the odd flaw, possibly ED coating clumps. Sharp edges you can see the black ED coat through the paint.
It has been stated many times over the years " you don't buy a Surly for the paint job" although at the current retail price........ it could be a quirk of the actual colour used, although most won't really be interested.

Seat tube was clear of any burring and post fit on 27.2mm is precise (bit slack but no issues on Dolan )

BB cups screwed in easily by hand (Dolan wasn't as smooth)

Quite excited about the first ride, in my head Rollins shares the bulk of the same tubes as Monk. So i am expecting a similar steel ride.
Most likely way off the mark but who cares.
Colour is still growing on me. Edscoble scored a Blue Roller, that's the one i would have had, or red as red ones are faster, but piss-yellow is ticking boxes :)
