More Surly Steamroller, Less Cowbell

I had hoped to race the Surly Steamroller today.  I converted it to a single speed cyclocross bike for Santa Cross at Griffith Park.  Unfortunately the kids are sick so no racing.

A few specs:

Surly Steamroller 54cm custom painted Kawasaki Green
Paul Cranks 165 mm 46 teeth
Thompson Stem and Seatpost
Cane Creek 110 Headset
Tektro 538 Brakes
Cane Creek SCR 5C Lever
Kenda K161 Tires
Bontrager Drop Bars
IRO Hubs laced up to Deep Vs
ACS 19 teeth Freewheel
Soma Saddle
Shimano M540 pedals

The Surly Steamroller is Ready for Cyclocross

Yep, I ordered up some tires from Jenson USA and we are a go.  Santa Cross is this weekend at Griffith Park and I can do both the SSCX and Fixed Cross on one bike!  I love it, the Surly Streamroller goes cyclocross!

I set gearing to 46 x 19t.  I hope this works.

 I bought some cheap Kenda K161 for $10.50 each at Jenson USA.  These tire are heavy but they work great.  I love the mocha color sidewalls.
