Steamroller Frameset - Frank or Beans

Surly Steamroller Frameset - Frank or Beans is a special-edition steel track frameset created with Japan’s Blue Lug to mark 20 years of the shop’s influence on fixed gear and city riding. Built around the Steamroller’s proven “ride it hard, lock it anywhere” intent, it pairs a durable Surly 4130 chromoly chassis with clean brake routing and practical tire clearance for real streets—not just smooth velodromes.

Designed for fixed gear or single speed builds, the Steamroller blends road-like handling with track-ready fit and standards, making it a strong choice for daily commuting, urban training loops, and stripped-down, reliable simplicity. Limited-edition paint and graphics set this version apart for riders who want a functional frame that also carries genuine shop-culture pedigree.

Built-for-the-street details that matter

1. 4130 chromoly steel frame + fork - Double-butted main triangle with TIG-welded construction for the classic steel balance of ride feel, impact tolerance, and long-term serviceability
2. Street-capable tire clearance - Fits up to 700c x 38mm tires without fenders (up to 32mm with fenders) to smooth broken pavement and expand all-season versatility
3. Track-focused fit and compatibility - 120mm rear spacing, track-legal BB height, and track crank compatibility for proper fixed-gear setup without compromising everyday handling
4. Caliper brake ready - Fork crown and seatstay bridge drilled for mid-reach (47–57mm) caliper brakes, with brake cable stops for cleaner rear routing
5. Corrosion and wear protection - E.D. coating plus a durable powder coat finish to help the frameset stand up to weather, sweat, and bike-rack life

• Fork - 1-1/8" threadless chromoly steel fork, brazed
• Utility mount - One bottle cage mount for practical daily use
