Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Sorry to hear about the damaged bike.
I didn't realize hitting a pothole could cause a frame to bend like that. It sounds like you hit one of the potholes we have up here after a long winter.

Yeah, that's not surly's fault. The welds didn't break. You hit something hard enough head on and the tubes will buckle.

I'm guessing this is you:

Damaged 53cm Surly Steamroller frame - $90 (san jose downtown)

Frame is damged
top and down tubes bent 2 visible creases near head/steerer tube
was going to be repaired but ended up finding out im having a kid and dropped project altogether
mikkelsen in alameda was going to repair but i dont have time to make a trip up
so im selling it for 90 which is reasonably cheap saying new is 400
only frame no fork but can include a carbon one if you want one for extra
lemme hear your offers im pretty obo on price just no lower then dirt thanks
pics cant really discribe it so come by thanks
email is key i check often
specs on frame can be found on surly's site k
Still stock maroon btw
keys:fixie,fixed gear,track, single speed,apple,iphone,soma,conversion,deep-v,philwood,formula,bmx,lugged,brazed,fillet,tig,4103,4013,chomemoly,chrome,moly,renolds,steel,orgin-8,buy this please
That thing is toast, dude. I highly doubt you're going to be able to sell it.

If you had an IRO.....You'd be able to take advantage of that crash replacement policy of theirs

sucks man, but glad you're relatively alright.

Imagining that front end falling off is horrific.

you sack of **** offering a damaged and dangerous bike to an an unsuspecting buyer who could end up getting killed just so you can make measly 90 bucks. you even having the nerve to cite your unborn child and bring that kind of karma your kids life. you damn well better take down that post if you plan on being semi-decent father because even if your kid never knew what you did the fact would remain that he would still have a sack of **** for a dad.
