I have a Steemroller, and am very happy with it. It is a very cofortable bike and dourable as hell, powdercoated and sturdy steel. you can also look at the Soma Rush it has basicaly the same strength and stiffness (same price) but faster twitchy frame. I can't tell them apart, but on longer rides you would be better with a surly. Kogswells frames are good, I just cant justify saving a few bucks on a paintjob that I would have to refinish for $200 within a year.
