new surly/iro rig
IRO is great, but the Angus geometry is a bit tight for me...
So I built up a Steamroller with an IRO drivetrain and wheelset! Charcoal Pearl and black.
I thought about getting the Steamroller "Complete" but was turned off by the maroon frame and Alex rims.
Anyway, check it out: https://www.awry.ws/node/47

damn, what's with all you haters??? i'm just pscyhed about my new rig... i wasn't really looking for your approval. bullhorns or drops, steamroller or angus... it's all personal choice. in my case, personal choice dicated by physical build (the angus top-tube is too short for me, and i also like the extra reach of the bullhorns).
pretentious dick? i dunno where that's coming from... if you don't know me, you have no business judging me. and if you knew me, you'd know that i'm not pretentious at all. a bit of a dick at times... well that's another story. :-)

Why? What's wrong with the angle? If I look like a jackass, at least tell me why.
Though, I have to say that they're pretty comfortable for me there... so I'm not sure I care!
