Once again, I have to say that the SS/FG crowd has some fine taste in gearies.
That Hetchins is beautiful.

The steerer tube on my Surly was thicker than any I have seen 30 years of fooling with bicycles. There is simply no way it's going to break, regardless of how many spacers you've got.

Yep... have seen a Surly after it went straight into a boulder and bet the steerer was not bent although the rest of the bike looked like a pretzel.
My only complaint with Surly bikes is their paint although I don't mind the colours... it is like they got a deal on some Korean War surplus or something.
It's all fine and good until you have to work on a frame as it does not take heat and comes off like glue.

Haha that's kinda funny. Nice build though, I'm a fan. I love the look of an old roadie all built-up. Someday I want to build up an old Paramount around a Shimano 105. Friction shifting=cute, but for the loss.

My DIY bamboo bike:

Currently has clipless pedals on it, but I don't have a picture of them.

I ride this once in a while. It makes me weak. Riding a geared bike literally saps my legs of strength. Fixed keeps me sharp. I'm selling my road bike.

Nice bikes in here. I'm working on refurbishing an old roadie now. Tomorrow I get to figure out how derailleurs work.

Fork and head tube damage is quite common... hit something straight on and the front wheel may often survive but the steerer and fork will often end up bent.
