SSCX Only!

But we should defo start organizing weekend "races". ;)
Springfield Park FTW,... leads to Hackney Marshes.
It's beyond awesome.

Not if you can't afford to ship it home after leaving it stateside after a holiday....

Well, you can dream it for sure...

Ah but I'm planning to go back to America soon, a good trade off is to bring a frame for a friend and then take my bike back to the UK.

Can I have dibs if you decide you fell out of love with it?

It's tiny TM...

Aren't all ganstas?

Dude, it's a small and it got a 130mm headtube, even with the CX fork, it's too low for you.

And I'm never selling that bike.

Aren't all ganstas?

Nah, I rode Scott's (which I believe was a medium), and it was still too small for me (you).
We dress the same.

Still not convinced by the caliper brakes.
Surely adding some canti brake mounts would work better.

For dry or wet use with not much mud I would rather have calipers as they actually work better and are less faffing around!
Okay, they don't look very 'cross' but I can live with that.

Sure, It's not even about looks now, BUt I'd go the extra mile and add the mounts I guess.
Very tempted on getting a used steamroller to knock about, until I can afford a custom.
What's the max tire width, the steamroller can take?

Work better than mini-v?

Sure modulation is nicer on caliper, but mini-v have the ulimate stopping power shy of disc.

w/o guards.
I'm guessing these are 2.0s?!...

Might be too tight..

Hmmm... that's what she said.

but brakeless and cages doesn't looks like cx to me!? track bike with bigger tires

isnt it a surly steamroller?

Hence adding the brake mounts to the steamroller. My concerns are only about tire clearance.
That one above, albeit fixed, is the only SR I can find wiv fatties.

Hippy could only dream.

That Steamroller look like shit and you like it because of the tyres?

Get a Cross Check instead, what the point of adding mount when the Cross-Check can have up to 45c tyres?

Also found this while searching for a Cross check with knobby;

Coming from you.... bless.

You started another sub-forum to bike porn as if it's not enough.

You've been slaughtering bikes since god knows when, and I've never had enough.
What of it? ;)

The steamroller (with added canti mounts), doesn't seem too far off this one.
Which is pretty close to what I'd have custom made.

(Obvsly, clearances/geo won't be the same but I've ridden a SR before, so it's all good. And the bike will have to do both commuting/off-road, trails)

This other one, Kelly Knobby X. Very Surlyesque rear too.
