This however has nothing to do with your collection of singlespeeds does it?

does have something to do with my choice of super firm racing saddles and a rigid singlespeed though, it wouldn't the first time someone wears tight fitting lycra clothing to get a battering on the bottom cheeks.

chainslapp I'm on the road to recovery from a major knee and lower leg dislocation, back biking for this first time this week ๐Ÿ˜€

That's why I'd like a 29er Ti frame as a keeper, but saying that the Swift is perfect really, just really like the raw finish of Ti bikes plus it will match my Zesty

Ive now got the lynskey 29er for ss duties and Tazzy is building up a cotic soul for my gearie lazy boy days (and hopefully it will be a bit of fun in the handling stakes as well) as tazz says different bikes for different riding- its all good

Tazzy is [s]building[/s] smashing together bits with a rock and all the mechanical sympathy of a chimp on PCP for a cotic soul

futon I'll put some pics up once I've made it bootiful tomorrow, will be odd to go from a frame n ti truss fork combo that rides very like a groans to a pukka bearded shed creation (albeit via a welding shop in taiwan)

Smuzzy - how do you find those forks? Have you use them a lot? Are the stanchions wearing? Any bushing play? Used them in the wet?

Gee, got the forks off the classifieds here, had them about a year now and they have been fine, been used in all weathers, no clunking or stanchion wear. I have to admit to being nervous about then and ready to swap to fox or rebas, but they have been fine, ..... so far, look lovely too, watch them fall apart like a cheap watch tomorrow!!!

Not sure you can get them now, I'd never seen them before, I think they may have been OEM kit on some bike rather than retailed on their own. They are as light as XC forks, but tagged as "All Mountain".

smuzzy- no it went a year ago- always felt a little too small - sciencofficer had it off me- i think he was trying to sell it recently.

Love your new bike by the way- looks proper bling- Im running an older pro29er at the moment- love it!

Singular Pegasus if you can find one second hand or persuade Sam to get more made.............If you are reading, Sam, any plans for any more?

There are a couple of second hand ones floating around - I know [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/singular-pegasus-ti-29er-frame-fork ]Filip in Belgium is selling his[/url] if it's not already sold.

I do have intentions to bring the Pegasus back, but it won't be until next summer at the earliest.
