Hi again. to me I guess.. so tracked down a roll. Ended up finding a shop called all mountain cyclery in Boulder City. They had 4 of them! As soon as I'm allowed I plan on posting a lot of pics of the bike. Primarily because I ran into so many issues with finding good pics of the bike. As well as info.

I looked at the Roll. I ended up buying the SST off Bikes Direct and the quality was close enough to the same on the frame to make it worthwhile. I wouldn't waste the money on the "Spec" name. Do a little more looking and you will find posts that indicate who actually made the frame for them.....

Not actually that I meant "China made" (as a lot of good bikes are), but that there is a name brand/model that is well cheaper that is the exact same frame. The name escapes me...I know it's somewhere in the fixed forums.

That’s the one I got! I love the almost flat grey w the black. Wanted the base. But got the sport w 3x8 & disks.....looked at bd and seen a couple I liked. As well as a couple of Raleigh’s that looked almost identical to a couple of older giants. I was told giant is the biggest manufacturer of bikes. Other companies just pay them to build their designs.
