Seems very reasonable to me: the frame and wheelset are top quality.
Currently working in Dunstable, possibly Moorgate again later in the year: if it hasn't sold, I'll get in touch.
Try adding some more photos.

Thank you for your comments. Please contact as and when you're ready.
I'll try and download some more photos. It's a bit difficult at the moment as I'm in Yorkshire and the bike in London. -

Very reasonable price considering what people try to charge for basic builds of this bike.
Just take some time and it will sell, glws -

I'm 6' 1'' the bike fits me well. I'm a bit old school and tend not to like bikes with huge amounts of seat post showing.

Now Sold.
Surly geometry is weird so I suggest you check Surly's website. This has been my go to bike for several years. It it is very decent condition overall. The frame and forks are true and there are no dings, dongs or dents. It's been a commuter, tourer and winter bike as well as grocery hauler. A very versatile workhorse it has been too. The bike really hasn't been used much in the last 5 years as I've been living in Yorkshire. I'm going to make my move up here permanent so unfortunately this bike needs to go to a good home.
The particulars of the build are as follows:
System Ex hubs laced to 36 hole Exal LX17 rims (handbuilt by Spa Cycles)
19 Tooth fixed cog and a 19 tooth Shimano freewheel (pricey and never used)
Sronglight 170mm cranks and matching stronglight bottom bracket (still smooth) with a 48T ring with a 1/8th Chain
10cms Pro lT stem and 3T Morphe bars 42cms end to end. Plenty of spacers to play around with. I use lots to obviate backache when riding fixed.
Deda seatpost sporting a WTB saddle
Tiagra long drop brakes with Tektro levers.
Shimano double sided mtb clipless pedals
32 mm Vittoria tyres (plenty of life left)
Rack
SKS clip on guards
I've had the bike for several years and there are some minor points that I ought to mention to you.
You'll need a new chain
You may need to re-rim the back wheel as there is some slight up and down movement. This is still usable and is a minor source of irritation really. This is not hugely expensive to counter and both hubs are still very smooth.
You'll probably need new brake blocks
I don't want to split the bike. I really need to create more space in the garage. Far too much bike related stuff.
I'm not exactly sure what to ask for the bike price wise. I do know that Steamroller frames are quite pricey at the moment. AS this is a community of generally helpful enthusiasts, I invite suggestions from the forum. I hope to be guided by your good selves.
I'm a frequent visitor to London and If I'm in the smoke I'm happy to meet at tube
mainline train station in west London. I live on the far frontier of the Piccadilly line. Or better still call at the house and have a cup of tea. I do have other items I'm also happy to dispose of.
Please Pm me if you have any questions and I'll try to answer as quickly and as accurately as possible.
I think realistically I'm looking at a figure of circa £375.
If I've overpriced please let me know.
