Single speed (2 Viewers)

[300blk]

I’ve put way too much money into this single speed.

I’m pretty sure the frame was less than 100 bucks when I first bought it.

The brakes are brand new and hydraulics, I’ve overhauled the entire cockpit with new stem and handlebars.

I think that’s the third crank before I found the sweet spot.

Still going with tubed narrow ass tires because there’s not much room on the chain stays and the seat stays.

The cromoly frame and fork give a sweet ride.

I took the eccentric bottom bracket apart and it doesn’t look as badly marred as some, not too many shops still offering them, but I know a place in Taiwan that I think still sells them.

I just finished this build. Pipedream Sirius White Industry hubs laced to Bontrager 29er I30 DH hoops. I built it to be a tank become super hard on well everything.

I love this thing and while I don’t set out hit Strava times I do watch them to see improvement. Since dropping gears I set PRs most every ride and still make 99% of the climbs I did before

Kogswell Type F converted to ss/fixed. Keeping it real. Goodies from Velo Orange on the way.

Man I haven't ridden a SS in a while. Who is making a complete BA SS these days?

I just realized I hadn't posted my new ride. I picked up the frame from the designer/builder at the end of July and have really enjoyed it so far. Castellano Zorro, 27.5 w/32:20

Wait… there are new singlespeeds? Are you sure? How is that possible?

I thought they were like beryllium - only made during that big bang five thousand or so years ago,

We all just buy them used. Right?

 

[OGBeno]

Damn right!

That looks like a saddle I once owned. It had a cool glitter bass boat red cover (Serfas ARC Ti).

Under biked but over forked. Here's my SS. She's light and cushy with the 29x2.8 tires.

what frame is this?

 

[Gesose]

I broke my Niner sir9 frame last year. Got it welded up and now it serves as a geared flat bar gravel bike. Replaced it with a custom Marino and I love her. 65HTA, 130mm fork, SS, 420 CS.
