Just picked up a new Surly Steamroller single-speed.

What do you ride?

I love me some road cycling, which I prepare for by going mountain biking. Road biking helps me work on my spin, and mountain biking helps me work on taking blows to the head.

I ride a 2003 Quattro Assi, SC7000 scandium aluminum.

Its got a Look HSC carbon fork, Chris King headset and rear hub, full Dura-Ace setup (triple in front, 9 out back), Kestrel EMF Pro carbon bars, Easton carbon seat post, and a Fi'zik seat.

Its not the lightest thing on the road, but not by much. I dust cars on this thing.

not the best picture, but you get the idea:

The only bike I still own is the Cannondale (its currently hooked up to a Tacx trainer in a spare room but hasn't been ridden for years.

If only there were a decent velodrome around.

I'm currently riding a pretty heavy Diamondback hybrid. I don't particular care for it but the wife and kids gave it to me as a birthday gift and told me I'd gotten too fat. The truth hurts.

Yes, the weight is slowly coming off.

You might want to use a smaller cog in the rear for your Steamroller for a better ratio, you probably top out your speed fairly quickly with the ratio that comes stock with the Steamroller.

I'm wondering if you have any other favorite sites for scouting routes that I cold use here in the southern California / Inland Empire area.
