Hairy Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Cracking frame. Just put a sliding drop out with derailleur hanger, on my Simple; as I reckon the frame is top drawer. If the gizmo doesn't work, I can see a Solaris parked next to the Simple... If it does work, I will have a truly versatile bike. Look forward to the build. EnjoyPITCHAS OF THE GIZMO PLEASE
Monark Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 that is so much of clever... but gears do not belong in this thread....
Spez247 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 that is so much of clever... but gears do not belong in this thread....100% Monarch. It's just a nice to have. Worked flawlessly today for anybody looking at this type of device. Bike will always be a SS, just that now I can take it to longer events as well as multi day stuff. And it only takes 10 minutes to convert, so a great win-win. Hairy and Monark 2

divernick Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I have the same bar and seatpost on my Cotic. Top notch stuff at a great price point.

Flowta Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 How do you find the saddle? I want something more comfy than my current Giant saddleI typically stick to SDG Belair or WTB Pure saddles. RockCoach and doppelganger 2
Ryanpmb Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Will let you know as soon ad I have tested it, found a crank- now just looking for brakes and a rigid fork! PM'd re OnOne blade type fork.
divernick Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) On forks: Don't hesitate to try steel. I have a Surly Karate Monkey fork on my On One and it's really nice. It's stiff and responsive, but also "springy" which I appreciate when pre-loading for a curb-hop or bunny-hop. It's also less than 1kg and you can run a mahoosive tyre. http://www.greggscycles.com/images/library/Zoom/surly_fk0024_12_z.jpg Edited February 26, 2015 by divernick
