Post your Single Speed

I'm guessing 20lbs (without the Garmin).
How'd I do?

That's pretty light for a road bike.(<-- just ribbin' ya for the rigid fork)

 

It's official...

I joined the ranks of SS and 29er riders all in one day. Not only that, I didn't have to change my STR name after the purchase!











And I still have *NO* idea how I talked my wife into letting me buy this.

 

Since I upgraded, I've been on this bike almost every day. It's about 21 lbs, but rigid ti fork can be a bit harsh. But if I didn't want to take the bumps, I'd be road biking instead.

Just don't tell my wife. As long as I ride them all, she has no problem with the stable.

The gearies take up more room in the hanger. I'm probably going to have to sell a few off to make room for a new one this spring...

 

I remember that IF TI bike u was riding a while back on Old camp!! really cool bike ehh!!:bang:

 

there is just something so simple and elegant about a singlespeed. I saw that Bianchi yesterday and it looked so clean.

I'm an old guy on a Curtlo too.......:beer:

Weeeeeeeeeee(z)!

 

here's mine.

sofa king now has a old WB CX-1 on it as rigid was a little much.

titus is much the same...

 

Orange bikes ROCK.

 

don't we know it!

 

Vulture, hey I know that guy.

I have a Vulture too. It's my only mountain bike so I treat it like an all mountain bike.


First the frame and fork.


Then built up rigid.

It's got a Reba with a coil spring on it today, but who knows what it will have tomorrow.

I think you are pretty close.. I never took the time to weigh it, but everyone that picks it up says the same thing...:bang:

And I love the carbon fork.. It has it's place here if i want suspension I grab something else out of the garage.. But I have noticed that riding it rigid will tend to make you pick better lines, and in turn has helped me become a better rider, Rigid is not for everyone or everyday but in my quiver it does have it's place...

Cheers

 

Boom. Just for you Gene. I like to call it light electric purple. But dammit it's periwinkle.

Sweet Carl. When did this arrive? Might this be your choice for the CC?

 

I built this right before the Rwanda ride. Need to log some major miles to SS. But it's a possibility. Else, I may just throw some gears on it and cruise the CC since I'm really behind in my training.

Gene, where's the pic of your new Rocky?

 

OK here is a pic of mine.

 

Here is my rig. This is my second SS, but have to say it is rather portly for a hardtail. With all the 29er craze going on I may find a sweet 26er frame on the cheap.
