Surly Steamroller owners...

:( whats the plan for the paint job?

Oi, anyone selling a 49 by any chance?

Too many bikes yet not enough juice in the knees for fixed. Any interest in decked out 56cm?

Lilac cross check, red headset, bosco bars and a basket spotted at a service station on the M5 a minute ago.

I know it's on here but can't remember who!

Great looking bike!

Yes, possibly interested, need to sell a frame to fund depending on price

The 26 life got you?!

Me! Been for a long weekend in the Malvern Hills. Trying the granola bars Currently.

That semi-rat is very rad.

I'd say don't sell. Surly apparently discontinued the Steamroller so no new ones coming out!

I was eyeing up the hell out of your bike.

Really nice colour!

Accidental double post.

Anyone got a Steamroller they're looking to move on? Ideally a 56, maybe 58ish (I'm 6ft).

Just wanted to say hi! new here at lfgss, this is my steamroller

Anyone got brake recommendations for cx'ing the steamroller?

Had high hopes with paul racer but a) shit cable routing front&back on a 49cm frame even after trying several cablehangers and b) performance same as shimano dualpivots before, maybe due to a). Not worth the money.

Do i have any other chance except adding disctabs? Im already running fixed but would like to avoid adding another rarely used bike just for SSCX

Posts for canti/vee would seem to make more sense than discs, especially on the rear.

Looking at your photo, I wonder if a Kona dog collar might be a good solution?

In my boone the routing was also … and very flexy rear brake, so in the end i installed the trp cx9, perfect, a bit more on/off but for loose stuff and mud it is perfect.
Boone was stolen, but would buy this combination again

As M_V said, Canti studs seem easier than discs, and you can keep the same wheelset... Here's mine with a rear canti - gives me wider tyre clearance than a calliper, and more mud clearance...

Really classy build!

Thanks, currently in its less attractive SS winter-commuter-mudguard mode, but feels best with 38c knobblies and fixed

Hey!

I’m 6’5”

Should I be looking at a 59cm or 62cm?

Shorter reach on the 59cm seems about right.

Drop me a line if you're selling
