I love steel. After building my mate his all road fixed I decided that I needed something like that and that I could condense three bikes into one so chopped the seatstays out of my road frame, replaced them with the same stuff I used on my mate’s frame, dimpled the chainstays and chucked all the good bits at it.
So rad.. Do you find that the fork is overbuilt for a seatstay? A fork sees a lot more stress than a seatstay right? (sorry if this is discussed earlier, had a little stalk but didn't see it)
