Putting a brake on my fixed was the best idea I've ever had. The only reason I can see for not running a brake is track racing or cool kid points. Granted bikes look cleaner without a brake, and I...

Stuck in between Surly Steamroller sizes. Size up or down?

I know I'm supposed to consult the fit calculator, but my results were inconclusive.

I'm buying a Surly Steamroller, and I'm not sure if I should go with the 53 (54.7tt) or the 56 (56.8tt). I'm...

For some dumb reason we don't carry All City bikes. If we did I would already have a Big Block! Good to hear about the Steamroller being a rough-and-tumbler though, I'm definitely considering it.
