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.

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!!,

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!!!!

Isn't that frame for a straight fork?

Tapered fork is correct for that frame.

Straight or tapered. Just need to change the headset.

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.

Find an old cassette and break apart to take the 18t. You can use that in the short term untill you get a SS specific cog.
