I've ridden and sold/built a few when I was working at a shop in CT. They are pretty sweet rides. If you are looking for a solid frame without a lot of frills, and cheaper than most other new frame sets, the steam roller is a nice choice.
I've got one and love it. Granted, I don't have a ton of experience with track oriented frame/forks before owning it. My previous setup was a Specialized Langster. I got the frame/fork second hand, it has been very reliable and a pleasure to ride.
Its a custom build done by a friend. Pretty sure the stock build has black wheels. I'm sort of 'over' the Velocity orange wheels. Would totally trade them for a black pair of something similar (need not be deep V).
Yeah, I was initially very into the wheels, after all, they were free! I've been riding on them for over a year now and am at the point of wanting to tone down the overall look of the bike. Was considering a set of Weinmann black deep V wheels. Any idea how well they ride? Would it be a noticeable difference over the Velocity wheels?
The Weinmann wheels are excellent for the price. Several guys at our LBS have them, bulletproof. Putting white ones on a old Schwinn Continential to become a single.
