Hi

I remember seeing an ad about two years back in a cycling magazine from a British company that,  daft as it sounds dealt in these get around town bikes aimed at mountainbikers.  The bikes were like rigid trail bikes with mtb geom , slick tyres, 1x setups and wide bars etc , any chance that anyone knows them ? Cant find them anywhere on google

Cannondale Trail 29er. Rigid with EBB for singlespeed if you want.

I'm running 1x11 as I have another SS. I change the tyres depending on what I'm doing in a given month.

There was a video ad for the Orange Speedwork around for a while. Nice looking bike that.

Just buy an old MTB, swap on some fat slicks and wide bars and go for it.

Zero Cool + 1

I went for 1993 Kona Hahana with 2.35” Big Apples.

Bike £50 plus £50 for the tyres

Town-tastic.

Good point. My Whyte Shoreditch sort of matched the description.
