That's a beauty. That colouring from frame through to fork is just awesome.

 

On a side note, Ardents front and back... Great choice. I find mine stick like glue!

I was wondering, what gearing do you guys use for singlespeed riding in real mountains?

(and on which wheelsize is that?)

 

It seems so hard. Coming from the flat country of The Netherlands single speed is nothing special. Even the XC tracks don't have more than 40m difference in height. So you can just speed up during the downhills so you'll make it easily up the uphills, even without gears. But what if the uphills are 10 minutes long? Do you walk or just have a very small gearing on your ss bike?

I go around the 32:18, have to push in in some areas, but if I go any smaller,the flat area spin out just become to rough (only ride in the mountains, little to no jeep track)

Here is my Dark Horse SS.

 

Merida XT Frame, custom black spray job, Specialized Purgatory 2.3 tires!

I have seen your bike, it is light, tight and sharp. ....call it scalpel, note the small s.

 

When if you get a big bad bike with lots of travel or a jump bike tit can call that bone saw

I think it totally depends on your style of riding,

Are you a high cadence washing machine on spin dry

Or are you a tractor that grinds through,
