The frames the prize I won at SSUK 2008 at Drumlanrig for having the shonkiest bike in the race. Unfortunately it was too small for me and the race organisers said it was a gift and I couldn't sell it or they'd hound me to my grave. So in the spirit of Karma I passed it on to Kaiser who owes me in Karma points, win win situation

Yeah that is pretty,

Im starting to appreciate the looks of singlespeeds, butnot the practicality for me :roll:

do you approve of the finished item then? the cost thing was down to the 29er components, no ebay bargains to be had. I also could have done it cheaper but there was no point in compromising too much. And even though I said it was expensive, it relatively wasn't compared to summat new say but still dear for a rigid singlespeed. The wheels were probably over £200 and the forks were £70-80 ish IIRC, brakes were £90 ish and the finishing kit probaly came in over a ton too.

Another cracker from the big ring meister! For some reason I thought it was green, not blue. What are the bars? On one fleegles? Need to let me know how those grips work out too. Even the combo brake/shifter units look alright Did you ever figure out how to cut the braided hose?
