[Closed] Singlespeed cross frames, not much about!

ive been looking for a felt breed/singlecross ! second hand for ages, and cant find any! 50/52 cm btw.

crosscheck?

It's on the list. I know they're good bikes but they're just a little 'too' do it all 😐

if memory serves you're not far away from me, eyesore that they are i have a singlecross if want a shot-they do the job

but if we're being choosy id love a cross check

or an indy fantabulous like [url= http://www.ifrider.com/omaha-orange-singlespeed-planet-x/ ]this[/url]

There is the Pompino, but that would mean running a BMX freewheel on a 120mm hub.
Early memories of freewheels on my old s/s aren't fond ones, but how are they lasting on crossers?

Here you go...

Have aUK distributor too..
(do I get a prize??)

Kona Major One
Genesis Day One

Not all Pompinos have 120mm rear ends, mine is a 135 which works just fine with normal road hubs...

I believe the new ones are going to be 135mm as well, although disc only.

Also, I know it's not specifically a cross bike, but the Cotic Roadrat would do the job too wouldn't it?

White industries freehub in a pompino?

genesis has been reviewed in the mag recently

Good shout clink.
I think all the 135 Pompinos have gone.
Whatever I get it would be nice if it was good enough to be a back up race bike.
Traitor
Singular
Kona
Pompino
So far.
130mm hub spacing means compatability with all my other wheels, and cross wheels are usually my hand me downs from the road bike.

Just been speaking to the Traitor UK dealer. That frameset is very tasty.

That Traitor is nice.

Shame they don't do a geared version....

Retail will be about £499 for Columbus frame & forks, though there not here yet.
I've got 11 races on the calender, plus I trained all winter on the crosser. Hence I want to save all my Shimano running gear, plus have a hoot.
Edit, though that is perfectly race capable and ideal for the flat courses, Blenhiem anyone!

what about a singular kite?

I'm selling a genesis day one - look at my posts in the classifieds if you're interested...

I'm in no rush and both the Singular and the Traitor are not available. I'll be waiting to see what the finished Singular looks like and I'll take it from there, but it will be one of those two.

saw kite at SSEC, looked v nice plus can run gears though guess in your case not that important.

Just read the first post, singular mentioned. ah well.

that traitor suffers from pompino-alike-ism.

... Cross Check works for me (although I'm no racer to be fair) 😉

chain tensioner! then you can SS that x-night 😉

when they're pulled tight they don't look that bad either and auto adjust for chain wear

I AM buying one of these....somehow.Only missing an integrated seat mast from my wish list-and i will never be able to afford a speedvagen 😥

Minus the gears of couse-interchangable dropouts dony ya know 😉

'that traitor suffers from pompino-alike-ism'
Naaah the traitor is far sweeter, proper tubing and nicer all round. Nothing against Pompinos BTW.

Nicely built CrossCheck there phil.

@oldgit - thanks... I like it 🙂

My brother has a Pompino with Conti twisters on... will attempt to add photos of the comparison when we manage to organise a ride together 🙂

Rorschach
You'll have to smear grease on those discs, working brakes on a cross bike! just not cricket old boy.

Silver rims that's what sets your build off. See those on the Traitor? well they're gash. Black rims with silver braking surfaces horrid. However I have to stand behind my belief in function over form.....

WHITE INDUSTRIES Eccentric Eric - opens up the options alot

oldgit- 😆 Truth.I promise only to use them in emergencies.

Words cannot describe how much I want this bike........

Looks like something out of the Nicolai factory. Is that the Speedvagen then? Looks C***ing brutally efficient.

speedvagens are lovely, esp like the red blue pink colour scheme

There is an amazing ti cross bike from vertigo (pictures on the site).Makes speedvagen look cheap!

wow that is pretty special!

I'll probably get stoned for this, but ugly as they are the my Singlecross is by far the most fun 'cross frame I've had - & I've been through a few. Was pretty much the cheapest too.

Could be that the "fit"'s just right for me, but it inspires confidence. Bit portly, but easily solved with a few upgrades.

semi-on

Hits Rorschach with a rolled up newspaper 🙁

john_l it's the foreskin effect forks that kill it's looks.

I'll start humping yer leg next.........sorry 😐

Voodoo Limba

singlecross looks better without 'foreskin' fork

portly yes but cost:fun ratio is amazing

That's an innovative chain run 🙂

yeah i reckon i stretched it so much after 1 ride with my manly legs

(or just couldn't be arsed adjusting it for ages)

I had the opportunity to buy a mint 2nd hand Vagen a few weeks back but had to pull out due to lack of funds 🙁 Waaaaaaaaa....

Slightly off thread ,but I thought a few of the posters on here would know,can you still get those brake boss converters to run 700c wheels in a mtb frame?

[b][u][url= http://www.paulcomp.com/motobmx.html ]Try this[/url][/u][/b]

Thanks epic that's a good starting point.
The type a mate had ages ago were more like brake boosters with 2 pivot points.

These are still available, possibly at St Johns Cycles?

another crosscheck here too and can always run gears if you change your mind too 😉
