Steamroller Complete

Ah, the Steamroller.  What a sublime ride. We love it and so do a lot of other people.  It was designed as a singlespeed/fixed gear street bike, and it’s as fine an urban trawler as you will find.  The 4130 CroMo frame is quick like a bunny, and durable too, as an evryday street bike should be.  We include 25mm tires, but the frame will accept tires up to about 38mm and that opens up all sorts of possibilities.  Asphalt isn't necessarily smoother than singletrack, afterall.  We offer it as a fixed gear but the hub is threaded fixie on one side, with SS freewheel threads on the other, so you could add a single speed freewheel if you'd rather do that.  We include front and rear brakes because having brakes is a good idea, but there are no rear housing stops.  There's not much else either.  Just a pair of water bottle cage bosses on the seat tube.  And hey! No snivelling about the location.  Seat tube, down tube, nobody can agree on anything.  Criminy.
