More photos of Maroon please. I'm seriously considering picking up one of the clearance steamrollers in that color.

i suppose technically you could debraze the crown, chop the legs, and rebraze using a jig. if you have those skills and equipment, though, might as well just make your own frame and fork.

Thanks to those who posted pics of the black frame, I wanted to make sure if it was a glossy black or a flat black, looks pretty nice but I'm not sure if the cream is a better color.
