MTB0007 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Decided to do a proper home made single speedEmptied the bike room, garage and smokkeled aTrack frame from my LBS for a steal..Started with sanding and Matt spraying the frameAdded the stock seat post and stemWill convert a set of std road bars into bull hornsBut until then a set of Dixie bars will do..I added a set of 198..something Simano calipersI am playing around with the rear sprocketsI took the 7 speed cassette apart and i addedSpacer keeping 3 sprockets on for now ..A 12 .. 17.. 23 .. Will decide later after busting my legs to chose a ratio...Wheels are stock 1999 105 ..I'm looking for a set of decent track hubs with a flip flop rear hub to build a decent set of deep dish wheels .... Current cost is minimal as all bits bar the track frame were off previous builds ... Tyres will follow tomorrow Edited July 30, 2014 by MTB0007
MTB0007 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Just for info .. The frame is Chrome moly Fuji Track so no need for messyChain tensioner ...
Wil6 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Here is my second SS project. Received my VERY green Momsen steel frame yesterday Ordered my carbon rigid fork today, it's has a 15mm Thru axle and its tapered Going to use my old Cannondale Sun Ringle wheels. Had new VERY green decals made from a hubber for the wheels and going to replace the front lefty hub with a black Rapide hub The crank is going to be XT 3×10 converted to a 32T single blade For the cockpit I only currently have this stem Still have not made up my mind on the bar, seatpost and saddle. Most probably going to be black The brakes I'm using an old set of SLX brakes. Gucci, doppelganger and Meezo 3
Heenan Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Iv have just finished building my first single speed its a niner one9. Might just change the brakes to xt

Metzet Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 just finished building a new track bike NotSoBigBen, Stretched@Birth, the nerd and 4 others 7
Gucci Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 So after some tinkering and replacing some goodies on my SS its finally where it was always intended to be... Full rigid single speed.... One last thing I would like to do still is to split the rear stay and go belt drive but that will be a project for a later stage when I have time and money for the conversion... What I might do in the meantime is paint it.... getting bit tired of the full carbon look ... never thought id say that Any more details on this? Looks great!!,
Gucci Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 http://i1144.photobucket.com/albums/o484/GucciKit/32c1afb6024d1c652efc3e94005aee8a_zps2252d0c9.jpg It's on the road. Next to do all the changes, smaller rear cog, paint and possibly new stem, internal cabling, new seat and post - it never ends!!!!

Fire Engine Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I have a Rapide fork for saleHi there I'm in the market for a straight steer rigid fork please contact me if you still have it for sale
Excite_Bike Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Isn't that frame for a straight fork? Tapered fork is correct for that frame.
Wil6 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Isn't that frame for a straight fork?Straight or tapered. Just need to change the headset.
Craig501 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Anybody know of shops in Pretoria/Centurion selling SS parts. I'm looking for an 18t cog by Tuesday, so online shopping won't work and I would prefer not to have to drive through to Joburg.
