Give me a good reason why I should not spend £50 more on a Surly Steamroller.
That frame is design for poor road condition, which explain the 'unique' relaxing ride that's impossible to turn at high speed. It's design for 27" wheels, it doesn't have any special tubing, just heavy standard gaspipe (from the look of it), it's a BSA ([FONT=Arial]Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited), a very common type of bike.
don't be a poppycock and lower the price for something a bit more respectful.
