Nice!

Steamroller can fit significantly bigger tires, if that's something you're all about. 42's will fit up front and something close to 40 will fit in the rear.

Without looking this up, I believe the 'Roller has a lower bb, especially if you run smaller tires; it's the only bike I've ridden where I got pedal strike pretty frequently with flat pedals and 28's.

anyone got the new pink/black 2018 frames? It seems they fixed the weird sizing and now it runs true. (2017 and earlier 58 size ran a top tube length of 60cm). now they are measured by top tube.

im thinking of going a size down to 58 and getting longer stems if necessary. 6ft3 rider.

Swapped to a Big Block frame a few months ago. Was hoping it would take larger tyres than it does, a 30C tyre only just fits in the back if you don't want the wheel at the back of the track end (which I don't because it looks crap)

Looks good though, what tyres are they?

I got a pair of 32s in mine without having to go anywhere near the back of the dropouts. Perhaps the later models have a different clearance?

what are toe overlap issues like on the big block? anyone have any issues?

No problems for me.

On small sizes, there is quite a bit of overlap, especially if you fit big tires.
(I had a size 49 with 32mm tires).
But I found quite easy to adapt - never fell because of that, but used the front of my shoes a bit faster.

I broke my hand all I want to do is ride my bike. I need to buy rollers.
