The Long Haul Trucker was designed from day one to haul a **** load of stuff. I'm not saying the Steamroller may not be capable but when my bike is hauling nearly 300lbs of man fat; I need everything in my favor.
I chose the brown because I wanted the ugliest color I could possibly find. Not even Surly carried over the original brown Steamroller frames after only one year of sales.
I don't want to appear cool - I just want to ride again.. I'm just drooling waiting for my frame to come back.. It sucks driving home and seeing people ride when you don't have a bike!
