Thread Box:
Steamroller vs. Milwakee Frame
Thread started by Mohicano at 08.26.09 - 9:17 pm

Guys,

Anyone have opinions on the Surly Steamroller vs. some of the Milwakee frames? Surly is cheaper, and Milwakee has a good reputation.

I'm looking to build a new fixie. I'm currently riding a Cannondale Capo aluminum frame and want to move to a steel bike. The aluminum ride is not a soft one.

reply


 Get the Waterford, same frame as the Milwaukee only rebadge. They have them at Orange 20 raw/unpainted.

 Well Im not sure what yer using it for but the steamroller will barspin a 700c tire in the 58cm size on up. The MKE is probly more gourmet, and as a company they field one of the most elite Polo squads in the world. Those guys ride the MKE bruiser. My 2 cents.

 You should keep in mind that Surly steel isnt just normal cromoly steel. It is inexpensive for a reason. I doubt it will soften your ride or make a noticeable difference from Aluminum, unless youre very big/over-weight.

The "steel is real" claim is reserved for higher end steel, like Reynolds 853, OX platinum...blah blah, blah

All of which will cost you a nice amount of dough. The lower end steel is cool because it is durable, and strong. Take for example their mountain forks (1x1, instigator), both are heavy, and unforgiving on the trail. Both are made by the same manufacturer as dimension forks. Same steel, no less quality... BUT, they are not a Vicious Cycle fork....

Surly makes great bikes, not because of the frame material, but because they really make bikes that make sense. If you want something you can hit the trials, grab a beer, and haul your furniture too...then Surly has you in mind.

Do you want disk or canti, racks, tire clearance... play in snow, mud, and rain? They have you in mind.

But... they are not supposed to substitute for higher end steel, which gives a more forgiving ride.
