My first Single Speed
Here it is! Ordered this frome ChainReactionCycles.com, and after 3 days DHL came with it!
On One 29 sliding dropout frame.
Carbon fork
Avid Juicy 3 brakes
33/20 crank/sprocket
A picture from the first ride. (16 miles uphill to reach the trails, then 16 good miles down again on a mix of singletrack and fire road)
So far it`s been raining for 25 days in september, so I learnd that I really need mud guards.
So far I have useing it as a singlespeed, but I might commit a cardinal sin and make it a 1x9 bike.
(easy forum pictures at www.bildelagring.no Just upload picture and link in forum text)

awesome dude. looks like a lot of fun.
that's actually a slot dropout frame, which combines the advantages of sliding dropouts (the ability to run singlespeed and discs w/o a creaky eccentric bottom bracket or weird disc mounts) with some of the mechanical simplicity of track ends. i think it's a great design and i hope to see more bikes with it in the future.
cheers!

I ordered the bike at https://www.chainreactioncycles.com
Fre shipping and great prices. They
More pictures soon in the show your bike thread.
Autum is here, and as long as the rain holds off it will be a lot of riding in
the weeks to come.
