hello mr. anonymous asshole

Give me the address of your store. If it's local I'll stop by.

And no, the retail build up of a Surly steamroller would be more than the MB. Here is our spec sheet, go price it out.

from harris cyclery:

frameset $410
bb $25
hubs $75
rims $110
cranks $75
headset $22

that's $700. include a couple wheelbuilds in there, you got ~900. include chain (ooh! colors! $20), cog/lockring ($15), and all you have left is your generic stem, bars, and pedals (wellgo? come ON.) - comes in at right about $1000.

and that's retail. with arguably better cranks (sugino).

but ooh! pretty colors! blank canvas! omg!

i mean, i commend you at trying to separate the trendoid dipshits from mommy and daddy's (or google's ) cash, but still. it's pretty odious to try and pawn off straight gauge tubing as "lightweight".

which bike shop? find out. i dont really want to invite trouble there, but i would be more than willing to meet you at a place more conducive to shit talking, like a bar. email me.

price these out retail

* deep V hand built wheels
* Origin 46t track crankset
* Odyssey Mike Aitken saddle
* 2 Vittoria Rubino 700 x 23c
* custom powder coat

And you'll see the retail cost of our bike as components is about $100 more than what we're charging. What is your email? Mine is zack@missionbicycle.com
