Potentially interested in frame and forks if you decide to split.

Looking for advice for a new frame please. I’m 6’6” and have always struggled getting the right fit. I’ve got fairly long legs and I suppose comparably short torso/arms. I’ll be using it for commuting mainly and also to go on decentish rides. Would like a fairly upright position as my back suffers on a long cycle.
I’ve been looking at a Surly Steamroller, as this is about bang on what I’m looking to spend (£500). However the 62cm frame seems to have a hefty top tube.
Alu or steel, not fussed.
Also been looking at the All City Big Block.

I was wondering if anyone here rides a 62cm Steamroller (and if so how tall are you)? I’m 6’6” and have always struggled finding a frame that feels right. I’m looking at one as a commuting bike but also one I can go for decentish rides on. I have long legs and kinda short torso/arms in comparison. I’d like a fairly up right position.
Appreciate any help/advice. If there’s any other frames people can recommend also, I’m all ears.

Been meaning to get this since you posted it but I’m currently without bike so will have to wait and hope nobody else gets it.

It was actually surprisingly quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Dropped down into Poynings, Fulking (with a stop at the Shepherd & Dog for a pint), round to Shoreham and back.

Sorry dude, gonna have to pull out of the drops and Deda stem. Instead, would be keen for the risers (if willing to split from stem) and the Goldfinger if not picked up and Noice or minimuska don't fancy it.

Would you be able to post the drops and Deda stem? If so I might be interested

2nd dibs on Xtreme frame bag if you'd be able to post?

May be interested in the bars if they're still available. Where are you based?

The size is okay (luckily), because I've got my old headset cups on it with the locknut just to keep it all together. But yeah, I bought it off eBay a few month ago and have only just go round to trying to install it, sent the guy a message and hope to hear back from him soon.

Sorry I should have explained better. So this is the upper race and it's just got both types of thread, left and right...
The locknut has the exact same thread on it. I assumed it was manufacturing defect but I couldn't quite believe they could get it this wrong.

So I'm building up a Peugeot conversion for my younger brother and I bought a cheap Stronglight headset from the Bay just to throw on as I gradually build up and source the rest of his parts.
I unboxed it and proceeded to try and put it on the forks but it just didn't go on further that a few mm. I then realised why.

I'm pretty sure the thread on the headset shouldn't be like this...

Cheers mate, not to worry. Slowly building up a Pug for my brother, just hope something comes up in the next few weeks.

I pm'd you 6 days ago, sorry I dropped off the radar a bit

Sir Bumpalot
