SS Mtb Frame Advice

[Dirtbreath]

Looking for a SS Mtb frame. Budget in the region of 5 to 10k. The more the frame, the less goes into the rest of the bike.

 

Any suggestions?

I have an On One Inbred for sale, less than your budget, but I can increase the price if you wish

I already have one. Thanks for the offer. Looking for something a bit more exotic but not astronomical.

How about a Chumba? There is a guy selling a frame that he set up as a ss in the classifieds at a good price (if it's still available).

There really is no other bike than the Ritchey.

For R10k you should be able to get a Niner or something sexy with sliding dropouts.

Or what Dangle said....

In the price range I am looking at I would want a ss specific frame and not have to use a chain tensioner.

I have been led to believe that the Ritchey and Niner are 10k+. Lovely bikes but a bit steep I think. That is almost in custom frame territory.

The Chumba HX2 has an EBB so no need for a tensioner.

2013 Kona Unit is within your price range and comes with a rigid fork. Give Maverick Cycles a call.

I would like to enquire regarding the single speed mountain bike ideal. Is there a preferred frame format which could be used or avoided. One that is popular within the single speed groups and one that would be not so popular. As an example fully rigid, hardtail or dual suspension. Naturally it could be understood that rigid would be the tougher type and dual suspension the softer type.
