I commute on a steamroller 3-4 days a week at 26 miles round trip and it's great. Although, I don't have any real need for fenders since I live in Southern California. It's smooth and comfortable. I found that it climbs amazingly well compared to my old fixed conversion road bike. Like a previous poster, I do prefer front facing horizontal dropouts, but it really isn't that big of a deal. I like the extra tire clearance and plan to take it off road some time. I already have the tires for it, just haven't tried them yet.

I have a friend that rides a Redline 925 and loves it. That bike comes standard with fenders and is a great price for a fully built bike.
