Put bigger tyres on to increase the BB height.

(...)

The headtube is steep already (except on the smaller size), there's less rake than a typical road bike, just how much slower do you want your Steamroller to handle?

I am currently on 23c tyres. Do you know how much BB height a rear 28c and front 25c probably will add?

I got a 62cm Steamroller so 74° for me. How much do 3-5mm less rake affect the handling?

Still thinking if I should let my Roller go to get something a bit more track-ish. I really dislike the 70mm BB drop and wouldn`t mine a steeper seat- and headtube.

Otherwise this bike runs super smooth and is a bit similar to what I think the BMW Gangsta is. It could be ridden in the forest, on the streets and even on the track. It just depends on what cockpit and wheelset people put on and how they style their bike.

Hard decision!

Hi there,

I am looking for a good wheelset. I like Phil Wood, H+Son and other stuff but wouldn`t say no to Miche, Gran Compe etc.

Black or silver-polished please. Incl. postage to Germany.

Thanks in advance!

Postage possible?

I remember reading alumining denting faster and not been as forgiving as steel when jumping curbs etc.

How about its durability? Will it stand some street abuse or is it meant to be on a track?

Cheap considering its build quality/look?

I am interested in the bike but cannot find any discussions of the frame. There is only a short review and a talk about geometry-issues on the internet.

Folks, help me. Is this frame worth buying? How does it handle compared to other track frames? And how is the building quality considering some street abuse?

Hi,

I am looking for a Thomson X4 in minimum 90mm length and 10°. Let me know if you want to get rid of one :)

Unfortunately I need to fund other stuff, now selling some of my parts. As my Deda Pista bar goes to homingmissle, it would be the cheapest way to post one huge package to London and you guys meet at some point to hand out the bits. Otherwise postage is about £15 each :/

Assuming one package features it all, those are the prices:

£18 for the Deda Newton Deep OS, 44cm (c-t-c), used condition

£20 for the Crankbrothers Cobalt OS, 47cm width, with black Oury Grips, used condition

£145 for the Sugino 75, 165mm, 48T chainring, NJS stamps all over the place, used condition

Got silver 75`s without BB. Used but good condition, 48T chainring

Got a buyer for the Pista. Anyone interested in the Newton to split postage?

£25 all-inclusive!

I am from germany. If someone goes for the Newton and both buyers can meet, you could share the postage

Hi everyone,

I am selling these two drop bars. The Newton Deep is 44cm wide (ct-c) and in used condition. The Pista was ridden for about 15miles and comes with even new Cinelli Mash SF Hills tape. No scuffs at all, 40cm width (c-t-c). Both are 31,8mm clampsize.

Would be the easiest way if I could send both bars in one package and you Londoners meet at some place.

£30 Pista
£20 Newton

• £15 postage
  
  

How does that affect the handling? Do you feel a significant change?

But is there a huge difference or are they pretty similar? What`s different?

Is there a (huge) difference handling-wise between the Pre Cursa with track fork and a PC with the road fork?

Thanks for your answers. Now it`s still about its nimble- and twitchyness compared to real track bikes :)

Steam-rollers, I got a question! I ride a Roller since last year and I am really pleased.

Nevertheless, I am always looking for other options and interesting bikes. That`s why I got few questions to those who rode more "track"-bikes than the Steamroller yet and longer than I did.

First of all I am really interested how the Steamroller performs compared to real trackbikes. Are they much more nimble and even twitchy or is the Roller yet quite up to par?

Second of all I`d like to know how much abuse your Roller took yet? I am thinking about a BMW Gangsta Track or something similar to ride hard through traffic, jumping curbs etc. Is the Steamroller able to take quite some beating or should I handle it with caution?

Hi there,

how much are you willing to pay? Mine are almost new, used for about 50km.

Just name me a price incl. postage from germany.

I desperately want one and I would be glad if anybody wants to sell :) Any color, any condition, good money!

dibs frameset

Both are used for about 50 km, the bar looks almost new.

Bars: £30
Grips: £7

I am 6"5 tall - any experiences with a V2 medium size? I really like the looks of the Gangsta but I suppose I am too tall!? :(

First of all: I am not totally into trick riding but I like the idea of doing basics like barspins, hops and wheelies. At the moment I ride a 62cm Steamroller as I am 6'5 tall.

Am I totally wrong if I think about getting an old Scissor v1 frame to commute and cruise on? Or should I stick to the Steamroller and put some trick forks on it to use it for commutes, smaller jumps, trail riding and cruising around?
