Hello lfgss,
With great sadness, it is time me and my trusty stead part ways for I am heading to greener pastures with rolling hills that require either gears or stronger knees. My steamroller has carried me many a mile across London as a commuter and California as a tracklocross racer. It was originally white, then the previous owner painted it blue, and then I painted it orange/pink. It definitely shows the scars and scratches of being a commuter, but as with most surlys, the frame is in perfect condition under the copious amount of paint.
The good:
-Chris King headset in a fancy limited edition color
-Specialized carbon bars
-mks pedals/restrap straps
The bad:
***Needs a new rear wheel, the rear hub is starting to tear itself apart from a bad hub adjustment. It seized up a few years ago and couldnt ever get it perfectly tight ever since. Ive been riding on it like this everyday for about a year and a half trying to see how long it would last. Surprisingly there havent been any catastrophic failures, only the occasional ugly noise. Long story short, it would feel a lot nicer with a new hub at least.
The Ugly
-The aforementioned paint
-The Helen Mirren spoke card.
-The saddle, its comfortable, just not on the eyes
Let me know if you have any questions/want better pictures. Dont want to part out.
Thank you,
Jake
