Similar geo to cotic simple, but also the ability to chuck on a mech. Horrible colour! What does it weigh?

Does anyone own one, how is it setup, rigid or sus? Manual easily? Whats the seatube lengths about 425mm then 435mm not much difference.

cheers

it takes 26/29 (on the front) and 650b wheels and a little bird tells me the colour is negotiable

Yeah, I've come to realise that some people are having difficulty getting their heads around that. Consider it a frame designed for use with 26" wheels and a 100mm travel suspension fork. The rigid 69er thing is solely a result of the rigid fork supplied with the frame. It has a very large amount of offset (55mm) which means that you can use a 29" front wheel if you so choose and it will still handle nicely.

Colours are a difficult thing, whatever I choose there will be some people who love it and others who hate it. I can do custom colours if you like.

You are more than welcome to test ride one if that is going to make your consideration any more enlightened.

Best,

Sam

the hummingbird with silver components on it on the Singlular website is waaaay more flattering than black bits.

Although I could never rule out a bike on colour alone. My first mountain bike was attractively priced but resplendent in a black to fluo pink fade. Actually the black faded out about three inches along the top tube so mostly fluo pink really. 8) (dons sunglasses to look directly at frame)
