I'm an aging bmxer who has decided to build up my first fixed/single speed bike firstly for transport and also to get some much needed exercise. I've been lurking on the forums for a while and this thread has pretty much made my mind up to get a steamroller.
I was after a quick bit of advice though, does anyone know whether there would be a fork/stem combination that would give the steamroller enough clearance for barspins? I want my bike primarily for actually riding rather than doing tricks but if my bmx background gets the better of me I may not be able to resist. Also I love the look of the charge scissor/fbm sword etc but would this kind of trick frame be practical enough for riding distances on for a prolonged period?
