Thanks Ali, neither are finished yet and both already look better than the pics above (IMO!).
The Steamroller has been great. Maybe it's just nice to have a bike i can lock up and chuck around without worrying about but i really think it rides nicely. If you get one deffo put some decent wheels/tyres on as that makes all the difference. Plan for weekend rides is to see if i can fit some 35c tyres on there with a rear caliper if i want to go S.S instead of fixed. Something like G-one speed or maybe even Compass Barlow if i can get them at a decent price. They'll definitely fit as road fixed but the caliper drops from the bridge a little reducing space. I was gonna stick on my Omniums with Hope B.B but on review the "beater" crankset on there is a Condor Legacy unit with Shimano UN55 which is actually pretty decent and actually suits the bike better than the Sram.

I was tempted by the capo when it came up and honestly you've done a far better job than I'd have. It looks sweet. The paint's never not going to be slightly challenging but all in, definitely would ride.
Steamroller build makes me actually want to buy one though, good work.
