Steamroller is a dedicated single-speed/fixed-gear commuter bike that can handle potholes, grass shortcuts, urban trails, and back alleys like a champ. Remember when things were simpler? Steamroller remembers. Launched back in 2000 when bikes had triple chainrings, the Triple Rock was still open, and our knees didn’t make noises, this steel classic is back in town for a limited time. Steamroller’s street-proof double-butted 4130 chromoly steel frame and 700c x 38mm tire clearance made it a fixture in the fixie craze, a go-to for messengers, and a trusty accomplice for riding to work, concerts, and shadowy dive bars through its 23-year run. Steamroller mixes track-bike features like 120mm rear spacing and track crank compatibility with touches for nicer everyday riding, like road bike geometry, rim brake mounts, and new brake cable guides for cleaner rear brake routing. No derailleur hanger, no rack mounts, no need. This Steamroller comes only in frameset form — all the better to Make It Your Own.
