rock Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Depends how much time you have, and what your interest would be regarding SS. Couple of options: 1) use old bicycle you have to convert to a SS, should be a hardtail. You can buy a tensioner and SS spacer kit for the rear from your LBS and do the conversion, or drop the bike off at LBS and have then convert for you. 2) Browse the interwebs, and buy a SS specific frame, and parts. This could take some time if you have something specific in mind. A good measure of patience is also beneficial. Then take all the parts to the LBS and have them build it for you, or build it yourself (if you are proficient and have the necessary tools. 3) Buy a complete SS bike outright. This may be more challenging, as most bikes are purpose built, and the bikes arent really " off the shelf, mass produced" I did 1, then 3, then 3 again (if your count a SS road bike) and then 2. 2's the best,
Monark Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I met a very cool chap last night. He came over to fetch the Lefty that I had up for sale. When he saw my SS Swift, his facial expression just changed. He commented on the tubing and appearance of the bike. SS's do just that. They are simple yet beautiful. They slow you down and force you to enjoy the ride and appreciate your surroundings.

The allure of a handcrafted steel bike... hmmmm
RocknRolla Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 The smaller diameter of the steel tubing used on the bikes adds to the sleekness. Not to mention the comfort....double hmmmmmm
Eldron Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I'll just put leave this here for your general perusal... If this doesn't make you wanna go out and buy a real steel SSer right frikkin now you're one cold hearted bastard/bitch :devil:
Badsam Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I bought one a while back for some general commuting...
arendoog Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 First make up your mind what you want to do with it .Then source the appropriate parts in the hub classifieds and build it .My advice is to build something that will be comfortably and practical for its purpose ,otherwise it will only gather dust and end up in the classifieds .Steel frames make the best builds and don,t skimp on your wheel set
the nerd Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Oh go on... http://i1035.photobucket.com/albums/a439/BuFFy-ZA/TD-1_zps66712dd8.jpg
