Surly’s Steamroller, a beloved steel-framed bike introduced in 2000, has made a limited-edition comeback, now featuring integrated brake cable stops for enhanced safety. This design evolution caters to riders who prefer the option of adding brakes without compromising the bike’s minimalist aesthetic.<\/p>\n
The Steamroller’s robust 4130 chromoly steel frame offers 38mm tire clearance, making it a versatile choice for various riding styles. Surly describes the bike as “versatile, simple, and smoother than a swig of whiskey in winter on all sorts of terrain.” (surlybikes.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n This limited-edition frameset is priced at $699 and is available in select markets. Given its anticipated popularity, interested buyers are encouraged to act promptly to secure one.<\/p>\n For those interested in building a custom bike, Surly offers the Steamroller Fork separately. Priced at $130, this fork is designed to complement the Steamroller frameset, featuring a flat crown drilled to accept standard-reach caliper brakes and clearance for 700c x 38mm tires.
