With a heavy heart I’m looking to move on this build.
I’ve had the frame and forks 9 years and in that time they have taken on many build incarnations.
A few years ago I settled on the build we have here with aspirations of bike packing but that hasn’t come to fruition.
The bike, as built, is ridiculously capable and defies its size.

Buying and wearing our sustainable merch is another great way to support Singletrack
As pictured it’s set up for me to ride. I’m 6’2 and a bit longer in the torso than leg.
This era (first gen Longitudes) are loooong. As built it’s running Jones bars with a dinky stem. The size of the front triangle is ripe for a large frame bag.
Included in the price is:
➡️ Frame and fork (XL)
➡️ Silver Hope Headset and Seat Clamp
➡️ Hope/Rohloff wheelset laced into polished Surly Rabithole rims and Chronicle tyres. The front was built by JRA and the rear by a local wheel builder with the Rohloff flange support rings that are recommended by Rohloff for added strength for touring etc. I’ve just serviced the hub (July) and everything is running and shifting as expected.
It is advertised as collection only at the minute as it would need a mahooosive box that I don’t have and I image would be really expensive.
I live in West Suffolk and drop off/a meet up may be possible.
Any questions please drop me a PM.
Thank you for reading this far ?
