The Steamroller, for some reason, has a way overinflated reputation. Seems to me that the Steamroller, with its generic chromo tubes is way overpriced. You can get frames with name band tubes for a similar price or cheaper (Soma, IRO, etc.). Overall, the Kona is probably a better deal (Dedaccia SAT tubes...the same as the EAI Bareknuckle). Hell you can buy a complete Paddy Wagon for almost the price of a Bareknuckle frame and fork. Moreover, its more street worthy than the Steamroller. It has roadish geometry and unlike the steamroller, it has eyelets for fenders and mounts for 2 bottle cages.
