A Joke at the LBS?
My favorite LBS in the Twin Cities, gave me a laugh, or at least something to think about this week. I hauled my Gary Fisher in for a BB replacement, it is an old C clip BB, something I don't have the tools, or the knowledge to get into. So, as the mechs are looking over the bike for an estimate I look at the bikes around the shop. I found a Surly Steamroller built up, rather nicely, and I looked it over, a little on the steep side of the price tag, but still interesting. I looked the bike over and had my chuckle. Here the Surly Steamroller had been built up as a fixed gear with, what? Suzue hubs.
I didn't ask if this was a mistake, or had they thought of building a Surly with another company's hubs. It just had me chuckling, and wondering "Hmm."
