Classic 33 the Steamroler is an 04 but I bought the bare frame in 06, I believe. If interested, it has Dimension cartridge hubs, Sun R18 rims, a Velo Orange cartridge, headset, stem and narrow leather saddle, Shimano cartridge get bottom bracket, Tiagra brakes, Sugino RD crankarms and Sugino chain ring, Somafab moustache bars with cloth tape and twine, shellacked, DiaCompe brakes and 3 sets of wheels. That is so I can change tires, and gearing without pulling the tires off. Just realized its 16 years old, and although I've ridden it tens of thousands of miles, in temps from -18 C to 40C in many different configurations, it is as good as new except for the odd scrape here and there. Studded snow tires, slicks, cyclocross tires, fixed, 3 speed, single speed, its all been good. Obviously nothing like the jazzy carbon and Al bikes many on this thread ride, but it and my Brompton are far and away my favorites ever. I could probably take it apart and reassemble that Steamroller with my eyes closed and I know I've done it without the aid of any leetle grey cells whatsoever. When you've ridden a bike so long its really more like wearing a comfortable old pair of shoes than actually riding it. I am sure I'll have it until I die, hopefully not while riding it. Prolly more than you wanted to know. Thanks for asking.
. No idea why it went flat. 12.5 miles for me. Loads of traffic about. I think everyone that owns a motorbike in England is in Wales today.
