When there were no Quickbeams to be found, I settled for a Surly Steamroller
with 32 tires. I was surprised at how much fun it was and half the price of the
Quickbeam. That makes it easier to use for errands around town and leave it
locked up out side. Jim D. Mass.

Well, I happen to own a Surly Steamroller. Bought the frame/fork from
Jim over at Hiawatha to use up some left over parts that I had left
over once my Quickbeam was destroyed. It's not very practical at all,
though I have managed to fit it with 32mm tires and Berthoud fenders.
So, I guess it's just barely impractical :)
I happen to like Surly bikes a lot, I'd much prefer a Rivendell, which
is why I own 3 Rivendells and only 1 Surly.
