I'm assuming it wheelies like a champ?

I think we can all agree that no one around here has wheelie cred quite like @motrheadsroadie:

We cannot all agree on anything around here, but that does not mean you are wrong about this :)

poppin wheelies in little haiti, baby

This is hotness. The red chainring bolts don't do it for me but otherwise I love it. Question: It looks like even with the rear wheel at the back of the dropout that the brake shoes are near the upper limit of adjustment on the caliper?

EDIT: I see those aren't Racer Mediums.

yeah, i'm looking for some nice oldschool clips but its really hard to find one wich is not made from plastic. :/
plus i'm thinking about track handlebar but the opinions are not the same, maybe i should try it (but then i must throw out the 105 levers)

Can't go wrong with MKS steel toe clips. I'd definitely advise against track drops though.

What's up wth Surly now putting a set of eyelets on the rear dropouts -- and no place else? Kinda half-assed.

^ +1 for MKS steel toe clips, last years and pretty easy to find. why do you want track drops/whats wrong with the drops you already have on there with hoods? If you're doing to be doing a lot of city riding as you said then track drops may be pretty uncomfortable. you're hand positions are gunna be in the drops or pretty much right next to each other on the tops.

Agreed. Definitely annoyed me that there were no fork bosses or eyelets. Also, only water bottle bosses on seat tube. None on DT. Y?

same as the big block.

Vajazzled the Steamroller and it's finally put together, hard to take photos of glitter.

You been waiting all week for that joke?

I haven't slept. Bike looks rad btw.

Built from all spare parts I had(except the ENO hub).

At least that's provisions for installing an entire water bottle cage. As it stands, the Steamroller's set up for half a set of fenders or half of a rear rack!

I quite like this. Glitter, drops rack, and chunky tires are a super rad combo

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The nickel chain on my Klunker was toast so I replaced it with a new black one. Not sure if it's too much black, or if I dig it. Increased the ratio 2.5 inches while I was at it.

Love it. I just put red chainring bolts from Wolf Tooth on my cranks so I gotta give props to that as they look sharp. The whole build is real purdy and real classy!

Thanks man! Colored chainring bolts normally aren't my thing but the wolf tooths were on QBP and I thought they were appropriate here.
