It looks like a Surly Tuggnutt to me, but it's not that clear in my eyes. I'll post some thought as well. I started out riding conversions, one of favorites being an old blue Benotto that was quite heavy but just my size, 61.9 cm to be exact, at least what I saw my lbs measure. Anyway, it was fixed up nice with a Brooks Pro, Profile Airwings. Alex rims and some cheap Suzue hubs. It was a beast to get up to good speed, and it really got me in pretty good shape. Then a Pista and now a Steamroller. My point was just trying to get a feel for different style frames that could be fixed or already were. Got bored with one frame, went to another, and so on.....
I do have a digicam, but it's back in Minneapolis. Oh wait, my sister has one. I'll post a pick of my Steamroller, my Pista is here too, but not all together. You can only bring so much bike stuff on the Greyhound for free, me was broke.
