\nThat is a picture of Aze in his fifth year of bike messengering, hung on the restroom wall of the Hatagaya Store.<\/p>\n

Aze just posted a very passionate blog<\/a> about Ritchey a few days ago. It’s was very interesting to read, since Aze is not a man with many words.<\/p>\n

On a personal note, this blog post by Surly was also really good.<\/p>\n

Full Metal Circle: A Steamroller Story<\/a><\/p>\n

They wrote about the Steamroller, which is their single speed frame that they released in the year 2000. The model made a comeback on June 23rd 2026 with this blog post, sharing some stories of how it was born.<\/p>\n

*SURLY* steamroller frame&fork set (anxious lavender)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I think I first learned about it about nine years later. Around 2009, when I was fascinated by brown steamrollers and fixed-gear bikes, that was the frame I really wanted. But financially, as a student, I could only afford the FUJI TRACK I bought with money I\u2019d saved from my part-time job.<\/p>\n

Even now, it\u2019s still really cool, and I honestly wish I could get one if I could.<\/p>\n
