He's from Helsinki and he made the bag himself. And the fork is original steamroller fork with welded disc brake mounts, there's a lot of rollers with these here - thinking about doing the same thing, winter is coming...
Here's my steamroller from pre-event ride Hamburg - Copenhagen
and race mode ;)

Hi, I had Paul minimoto brakes on the bike and got tired of the squeaking, I did all the tricks, it worked for a while and started again. So I went for the caliper brakes, I have the 57mm reach shimanos and had to file the brakes a bit to make work. So if you don't want to do that, go for a even longer reach. This frame is from the first batch, spring 2015 - I'm not sure what they have changed for the 2016.

Really nice frame, great that it's one of the early ones. I have had a couple of these, first one was a small 40cm frame (it was supposed to be a 46). It was very poorly painted black, I had it powder coated and added decals.

Now I have only the orange one left. Great bike and the color is amazing, it seems to get brighter as it get darker.

Whose is it?

Hi guys, my everyday all-round bike. Chain is KMC 710sl, it's ok in my opinion, I normally use the KMC 510HX. Valves are different lengths, just had these at home when I changed the tyres ;) Pretty happy with the normal gators, had both normal and hardshells in the past. LIghts are shit, but just lights, so I don't care so much. Anyways, I had all kinds of bikes, but this one is the one for me - great frame!

Hi guys, my esb, been riding it a lot past days. We have lots of snow here in Helsinki. I've a studded front tyre on my gangsta for icy roads, but fire crosses on this are great for snow. Didn't actually buy this for winter bike, but wanted to try it out. I'm liking it more and more, did a nearly 3 hours ride in our central park this weekend -18 deg. Great bike and I really like the raw frame.

I've had Kenda slant six 35's and now Panaracer cinder x 35's, both have good clearance in my opinion. I think that V2 has more clearance than OG, though I've only had 28c on that. I had first the original fork, but then changed it to Easton EC70 x.
Here's a link to pics with different setups:

Thanks! Good to see my bikes on the best thread :)
I have a ongoing project to shoot photos of some Helsinki ratbikes:
