Finally got my Singlespeed pub bike finished I had some wheels lying around from a previous bike along with pedals, and a stem so I thought it would be nice to get some other bits to build up a steed for messing about on so I kept an eye out for a frame on STW and bagged a nice On One Inbred frame along with a set of Avid Juicy 7's and a 120mm adjustable travel Magura fork, the only new bits are the handlebars, BB Crank & chain I had the Chain Tensioner, rear sprocket and some spacer given to me by a nice chap on STW. So in in all I've done well and its great to ride, yet to ride it in anger on the rough stuff though. Running a 32-17 which is fine [s]until[/s] if I get fitter.

Do i have to grow my hair and a silly beard now 😕

THAT's a pub bike???!!!!

would love to see your day to day bike 😉

PS, very nice. I like the fact you had some wheels and a stem lying around was enough to encourage a complete new build!

Drop the squidgy forks - go rigid and stick 14T on the back.

Some nice looking bikes there.

14t - not too sure about that!

I'm running 32x16 on a GT Zaskar with a cheap-as-chips steel fork and Avid V brakes.

Think a nice rigid Carbon Fork would make a nice upgrade, as would disks. Don't know if the suspension up front would make too much of a difference to me now i'm used to riding rigid.

Think 32*18 is the way to go for me personally for anything over 2-3 hours.

Like the silver on one.
