Trade: My 49cm Surly Steamroller for your 54-58cm frame.

Alrighty then. Seeing as I'm in the process of being crippled by the 49cm Steamroller I'm currently riding I'm looking for a more roomy frame, in the regions of 54-58cm. Not expecting a massive response but thought I'd try anyway. This is a F+F trade ideally although if circumstances are suitable I will just trade frame.

About the Roller:

• 49cm
  
• Black
  
• Paint in decent condition, will provide closer pictures soon
  
• One small dent in left hand seatstay which distorts the straightness of the tube ever so slightly(will try and grab a flick of this too as well as a picture of the dent beside a penny or some such)
  
• Frame in structurally perfect condition apart from this
  
• Fork perfect structurally
  
• Cane Creek headset, Shimano BB, both in good condition
  
• Surly stickers showing signs of wear/ rubbing but enamel headtube badge is fine
  
  
  

Any Surly owner and any Steamroller owner in particular will tell you that these are a fantastic workhorse and built like a brick shithouse.

Taking into consideration the slight damage to the frame, I'm open to pretty much any frame within the size parameters specified above, couple of things to bear in mind though I guess:

• Must have track ends
  
• Paint can be flawed and scratched as long as the frame itself is structurally sound
  
• Not interested in Langsters, Paddy Wagons or the like
  
• No Create rubbish
  
  
  

As you can see from the sticker in the first picture the frame is indeed located in Dublin, Ireland. Although I have no references on this site, I can be vouched for on others, including a previous frame swap. Really would prefer to trade as I can't really be without a frame for very long, taking this into consideration it would take £120 to prize this from my cold, dead hands. Comment if any further info needed.

I'm interested in buying this. But I'd like to see pics of the dent and how much the straightness is distorted. Also, would you post and how much?

Check the date on the original post....

Thought I'd try my luck.

The angle of the saddle looks crippling. Have you tried it horizontal?
