i think its more like an eccentricker ebb than a 'proper' ebb hence needing a half link chain, could be wrong though

I think you are! 😀
As someone else has said, split shell ebb's are an old and tested design
That one has Phil Wood half link EBB. It's smaller then a normal EBB so has less "throw" but weighs less. I don't change gear often so quite like the idea. You can have a normal bb or a larger EBB as well.

Sam, where did you get the Niner forks from?
singlespeed.nl
I got my kermit green Niner fork from Chevin Cyles at Otley.
brant - MemberM8's? Even better.
I remember one of my lecturers telling me an M8 bolt will hold 3 tons in tension (like that).
Yep that's about right, most 1 tonne chain blocks/pull lifts only use an M6 bolt to hold the hook on & you can bet they are designed to take a fair bit more than the rated weight.

Thanks Shaggy, couldn't have put it better myself 😉
Nice frame but not sure about the Marmite forks.
🙂
shame I'm too much of a shortarse to fit one....Can do custom sizing for a small upcharge...
Actually, I'm rather taken with the proto Ti Hummingbird in the window of Head For The Hills - makes much more sense for someone my size. Will Nevi be making some of those in the future, too?

Dan has decided now that he's seen the Italian ones he doesn't want the one he has in the window. So I will be doing a Nevi one for him. If you'd like to get on that boat as well drop me a line.

Just to add my two peneth first ride on my lovely Pegasus 😀 😀 😀
Very very nice (just waiting on the headbadge cos i am was so impatient to get the first pegasus)
And yes i know the seat is about the same hieght as the bars becuse i have shortish legs !!!!!!
Although a little positioning adjustment will take place over time.
What i can say is its light,nimble and just bloomin brill
Thanks Sam
I think the old swift may well sit and gather dust for quite some time.............and no its not for sale
Niiice Jase, glad you like it! Probably worth a thread of its own rather than being tagged on here 🙂
Typical, innit? Just when you've given the missus the OK for new furniture, decorating and carpets, some bugger comes along with this sort of Ti loveliness. VERY nice. 🙁
what's the waiting time on these frames?
Edit, just re read the thread-February (which is ny birthday month!)
You'd need to get a deposit in shortly though RD.
Sam i have to say your bikes don't normally "do it" for me, but this looks great
That. Is. Bloody. Lovely. I really like the 9iner carbon forks, too. One of those, with a 650B wheelset, would be just about my perfect SS. All I need now is the money... 😥
what rims are they on the first picture (carbon ones)
I'm very interesed.
thanks
Bruce
