Surly Steamroller (2017)

2017 Steamroller. I got the frame through QBP at the co-op I worked at. Parts are a mixture; I intended to make it a commuter/whatever, but by the time I got it put together, I got a courier job, so now it's a work/beater bike. I actually love it.

More Info:
Finally got around to building a disc wheel and installed the brake. Also now has Ritchey risers, which are much more comfortable. Brakeless is fine and all, but having a brake is nice. With a disc brake and fenders, this is truly the ultimate winter commuter and work bike.
