Jesse is back with his latest kooky Crust Clydesdale build, this time it’s a barefoot fixed gear built around a classic Surly Steamroller. The build has everything: two gear ratios for dog hauling, pinched chainstays, custom barefoot Huarache pedals, and lots of silver as always. Don’t miss all the details on this fun build…The Surly Steamroller was an outlier in the early fixie craze of the ’00s due to its massive (for the time) tire clearance.

After the Cotic FlareMax review bike left a lasting impression on John last year, he worked out a deal with the UK-based brand for a frame. Late last year, he received a size C5 Gen5 FlareMax in Amethyst and got to work on this unique build…I’ve been wanting a shorter-travel, full-suspension bike to accompany the Murmur, my 135/160 trail bike.

Last year, when we visited Crust Bikes Australia, we took a look at Matt’s bike stable and teased the Stupid Tourist. The Stupid Tourist is a mini velo with 20″ wheels and Ritchey Break-Away couplers for all your travelin’ needs. Spencer dreamed of such a bike many years ago and wondered why it took so long for someone actually to make one. He was lucky enough to pack a Stupid Tourist for his trip to Bike Kill and Nutmeg Country last fall.
