JoB - That singular is beautiful.
Kuco, nice bike ๐
petestuart - MemberJoB - That singular is beautiful.
It's not a Singular. It is very nice though.
DeanoT, I do wish you hadn't put that picture there......
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant
Must haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave.....
My mistake. I looked a the decals quickly and assumed it was some custom singular. What [i]is[/i] it? Its lovely.
Cheers Simon, fun to ride ain't they ๐
Lovely forks on the Ritchey and the Isla and glad to see some more barend shifters on the latter
Kuco, simonD,
Are they TiX's?
Assuming so, do you have any problems with slipping seatposts?
Mines just had new forks and discs, making it a very versatile beast. Smooth ride on knackered roads aren't they and quickly get you into trouble off road - plenty fun.
@turnerfan1 - I still have my islabike 531 cx in the loft, you're obviously a bit taller than me though.
Yes boxelder they are Ti, I've not had a problem with my post slipping and I quickly get reminded when I go off road that it hasn't got 5" travel and I just can't crash through everything ๐
A friend of mine has got one of those Scotts. I was surprised to find that the top tube profile is triangular, with the "sharp" bit pointing down.
It's extremely uncomfortable to carry as a result. WTF?
another 'mmmm' for JoB's singular - gorgeous bike.
got a Genesis Day One (steel ss version) set as a SS 'cross bike and love the format, but that Singular really is very nice..
"[i]another 'mmmm' for JoB's singular - gorgeous bike.[/i]"
shame it's an Enigma then eh?

I'm still waiting for someone to say you cant have disc brakes on a CX bike!
you can't have disc brakes on a cross bike
there you go ๐
(plus gets this thread back on the front page)
Assuming so, do you have any problems with slipping seatposts?
Nope, never had any issues during the 6 or so years I've owned it.

Must be a bugger to carry with that cheeky wee fella sat on yer bars?
Sorry if I sound a bit of a 'div' but are Cyclocross bikes basically racers with knobblier tyres? cant be as simple as that surely??
๐
cant be as simple as that surely??
It's not. CXers have different geometry, bigger clearances, higher BB, canti brakes, stronger frames...
But at the end of the day the frames a frame, I've quickly changed the tyres and flipped the stem of my Lemond Poprad and done time trials on it quite happily. Oh I did change the rear wheel completely so I had a closer gear change to help with my cadence.
