Hello, does anyone ride one of these? I'm thinking of one for all day trail rides and softcore XC. I'd welcome some informed opinions as the price looks good. Thanks in advance.

Looks great. As I commented at the foot of the article, very much the sort of bike I like and would gave looked at when I bought my KM Ops.

Thanks. Yes I had seen the review. Is it very similar to the Singular Swift except with a slightly steeper headtube? I'm most interested in the XC performance.

£424 frame and fork on their website which looks competitive. Does the email offer anything else?

I like the look of it to replace my genesis fortitude.

I want something that I can convert into a geared bike for touring, but keep mainly as a singlespeed for year round commuting. Sliding dropouts is my preferred system for doing that.

That's all very nice. I'm most of the ay through putting together a basket on CRC to complete a nice SS build, would be ace for pootling around the canal paths near hom in the summer....I may need restraining
