I would like to introduce you all to the newest member of my family.
Last year I rode a friends Steelwool and had a great ride. He had it set up as a single speed and I remember going out and taking a look at them at the LBS.
The thing that I enjoyed the most was the smoothness of the ride and the more retro looks. What set me off a little was the colours and design work on the frames.
I got a call from a friend of mine who was at a LBS I frequent and told me that they had a 2008 Steelwool Ltd Edition in my size. My first question was 'What's the colour?' His answer...'Just get the $%#$ down here, you'll like it.' I raced down and the shop had it ready for me. Within ten minutes I knew I would be buying a new ride. Forty-five minutes later, I was coasting down the street with my friend beside me and heading for the waterfront.
I've kept her as a fixed gear, and she is as smooth as butter. Please excuse the clarity of the photo but I've had some shaking due to some minor seizures.

That is sweet! I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. WOW... you've probably already put many miles on this bike... heck you probably even slept on it. I know it's exciting. But this is bad... because you'll have me perusing the internet once again... looking at fixies.
My first sleep after my first ride I kept dreaming I was riding on beautiful country roads with the sun beaming down.
I've only put about 100 miles on her due to the weather. I've taken tomorrow off and there is zero chance of clouds and rain.
Great.. enjoy the ride and the dreams that follow.
