Would love to do one of these as a first foray into the 29er market, but can’t seem to work out whether to get a dedicated ss frame like the inbred is currently available in, or get a verticle dropout frame and use a tensioner.

Any preference? Also what width axles/hub would you need?

Or one that does both. Ive got a salsa el mariachi , it has gear hanger that slides so you can have both

Factory custom Nicolai

Not really bling, but my newest singlespeed hardtail

“Singletrackworld.com – ten years of proving it is possible to build an ugly singlespeed.”

Come on boys you need to do betterer than that

he’s right you know, if it hasn’t got a comedy towel rail it’s just not a blinglespeed, sorry.

Stoney were you one of the SSUK10 organisers or are there lots of pace SS with pink hubs/brakes knocking about?

Bling is in the eye of the beholder
