Yeah, bit of a niche market.
All I've found so far is a Lenz Spankster 29 x 3.0 [url= http://www.lenzsport.com/Specifications.html ]http://www.lenzsport.com/Specifications.html[/url] with Rohloff dropouts. [url= http://www.lenzsport.com/rev/singlespeed.html ]http://www.lenzsport.com/rev/singlespeed.html[/url]
Intense do a 29er VPP Spider and I've heard Santa Cruz will be doing a 29er VPP too in August. Both tempting as I currently ride a VPP BLur.
I'm not convinced fancy linkages really make any difference though and I like the idea of the constant chainstay length with the Lenz as it does away with the need for a tensioner
I've got a chance of a test ride on a Lenz Milk Money,like this [url= http://www.velonews.com/photo/40731 ]http://www.velonews.com/photo/40731[/url] as the guy at my LBS rides one with a Rohloff and he's offered to lend me his own personal bike for a day.
I just thought I'd see what other options there are out there.
At £1800 for a frame and £900 for a Rohloff hub, this all depends on getting on Cyclescheme at work of course.
ventana el rey ?
should be able to get one with rohloff specific dropouts.
Sounds like an ideal commuter! 😉
The Lenz is still favourite due to the constant chain length and rohloff dropout.
Spud, stranger things have happened. I'm currently commuting on a Blur XC/Talas/Rohloff. About £3k at current retail prices.
