Damn those are rad. What can I say, I'm easily impressed. Fat tires and a few odds/ends looks like the perfect winter bike or backroads cruiser.

I used a metal paint scraper to get the decals off. The powdercoat is tough as nails ! No chips, no marks.. nothing.

Anybody have one of those older threaded fork Steamrollers? When did they switch to threadless? They look awesome. Just saw this one on craigslist:

I'm seriously considering the following, tell me if I'm crazy:
Cross-check with rear disc hub. Theoretically, with one wheel (and two chains), I could run 1x9, 1x1 with a SS spacer kit, and put a bolt-on cog on the disc mount to run it fixed.
Thoughts? Am I missing something here? Would the chainline be all effed up?

I think the spacing/offset of the wheel wouldn't be the same from side to side. Thus you wouldnt be able to flip it from fixed to freewheel sides.

Through a lengthy series of trades my Steamroller evolved into a Crosscheck.
I do miss it a ton though. Ignore the handsome devil on it:
