Ryanpmb Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Hahaha!! Absolutely. Nothing wrong with your memory. Matching stem and handlebar. Nothing like a bit of bling to spice things up.Nothing wrong at all. Bike looks fun.
the nerd Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Nothing wrong at all. Bike looks fun. I have a green bar that matches that stem...
IH8MUD Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Got this yesterday! Super exited for my build. Been dreaming of a steel single speed mtb for a long time Edited April 22, 2015 by IH8MUD lukelockie, the nerd, Hairy and 8 others 11
IH8MUD Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) First parts arrived this morning. Edited April 23, 2015 by IH8MUD
IH8MUD Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Some help from the SS gurus please. As can be seen I am starting a SS mtb build. Still need to decide on a crank. Wondering if a 180mm crank will help with the extra leverage or should I stay with the 175mm crank as on my other bicycles?Would the extra 5mm really give a perceivable advantage or would it be "all in my mind" Edited April 23, 2015 by IH8MUD

I'd be more worried about whacking the extra length on rocks...
J∆kk∆ls Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Agreed! Ride what your used to. I got 170mm crank arms and I'm a tall bugger. Better clearance
divernick Posted April 23, 2015 Author Posted April 23, 2015 What fork? What fork? What wheels?!?! IH8MUD 1
IH8MUD Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) What fork? What fork? What wheels?!?!Could not have said it better.!! Looking as American Classic Wide Lightning wheels. (Hope they are strong enough)Otherwise a Stans Arch EX build.Any other suggestions? Fork . . .?!I have no forking idea yet. Have access to two 2nd forks, one rigid carbon, one Fox Float Fit. But their steering tubes are both actually little to short. Will keep the build posted. Edited April 23, 2015 by IH8MUD

They pair well with some Hope Pro Evo 2 hubs with fat WTB Weirwolf tires. I was running a rigid carbon fork and had no issues, but have changed to a Manitou Tower Expert and it's rad. IH8MUD 1
