[Closed] Alternative to the Soul, with swappable dropouts

honourablegeorge · 2011-07-17T09:51:48Z

Have just demoed a niner, and (I think) decided against 29" wheels - so I'm on the point of ordering a Soul. One thing though - I enjoyed the singlespeed Niner I tried, and I'm thinking singlespeed might be a nice option to have. Are there any frames out there what are very Soul-like in weight and usage, but offer the option of gears or singlespeed? There's the Pipedream, but they seem to be out of stock...

I had originally planned to get an adjustable fork, but with the way my Soul climbs (straight post, saddle well forward), rails tight singletrack (attack! attack!) and descends over the rough stuff (big tyres, wide rims, dropper post down) with a 140mm 15QR fork I'm glad I kept things simple. 27.5lbs of fun!
