Here is Jeff's Surly Steamroller frame. I stuck some old 27" wheels on it and they fit perfect. The front brake caliper even lines up well. It has a threaded rear hub on the wheels, so I assume I can just take the freewheel off and thread on a SS cog? Anyone know for sure?

At this point I think all I need is a threaded single speed cog?, some conversion crank bolts thingys?, and an Surly size seat post clamp (it is not a standard 31.8mm). Anyone have any of these items for cheap???... please PM me.

I am going to pick up some basic white cork wrap for the bars at the LBS.

no rear brake?

no rear brake?

There aren't any cable housing guides along the top tube, so I can only assume it was meant to be built without a rear brake. This may be that is was intended to be a fixte and not a SS, but for now I don't have any clip on guides so this is as far as I got.

Maybe I should put a fixte threaded cog in the back, now that I think about it. Anyone got one?

Seatpost clamp diameter is 30.0 -- Redline uses the same size for their Monocog bike. Any bike shop that orders parts through SBS can get one you. They retail for about $7.50

The rear seatstay bridge is drilled for a brake, but you'll have to zip-tie the cable & housing to the frame.

Actually, Jeff has a Honey colored Brooks Swift that I have been lusting after for months. He said that he prefers the B-17 Narrow.... maybe I should try to cajole it out of him somehow. :thumbsup:
