I have had 3 Steamrollers and they are a very nice ride (I may actually keep my present one for a change!) The geometry is very good for the road, much better imo than a track bike where the bottom bracket is too high and the position is too over the front. Gives a comfortable ride with quick enough handling.
Not sure where all the comments on being heavy are coming from, I would say it is average for a steel frame and forks. Maybe 200 grams heavier than high end steel frames (let's face it, if you want a light frame get alloy or carbon)
My previous bike was a Colnago Dream Lux Pista and yes it was a more expensive and lighter bike but it didn't feel as nice on the road as a Steamroller.
A couple of them are here ==> http://www.fizzypeach.co.uk/bike.html
