SteveS Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I am looking for ideas for higher end single speed specific frames for a project. Rigid or suspention at front. Thinking about Niner SIR9, Santa Cruz Highball, Cannondale with LeftyThere are some serious expensive titanium frames but that is out of my league Any ideas? If you are looking at carbon you could consider the Lurcher from On-One with matching Rigid fork. It comes with horizontal dropouts. You can get the frame and fork landed in SA for approx R 9000.00
Hairy Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 One very very nice bike ..... you should note that the rear drop outs are replaceable, so you can swop them out to run either geared or SS. A nice concept.

IMO...

Hairy Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 http://www.singlespeedafrica.co.za/IMG_5680.jpg Nice Div .... I see a SS Spank Tweet Tweet red chain in your near future?
divernick Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Nice Div .... I see a SS Spank Tweet Tweet red chain in your near future? Thanks bud. No, I don't use half-link chains and I never spend more than R120 on a chain. Ever.
divernick Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Nice Div .... I see a SS Spank Tweet Tweet red chain in your near future? But I do have a XTR M960 crank that's going to get the Jeff Jones treatment and be installed soon. That'll bling her up nicely....
Hairy Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks bud.No, I don't use half-link chains and I never spend more than R120 on a chain. Ever. Good logic .... I do confess that I did however fall victim to my "inner pimp" by buying a blue chain for my inbred .... a really common weakness among cyclist's I might add. So next time I might just get a cheapie or a green chain
Ryanpmb Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Thanks bud.No, I don't use half-link chains and I never spend more than R120 on a chain. Ever.Ok it's more than R120 but it's not half link... http://dialdbikes.co.za/dartmoor-core-chain.html
divernick Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Ok it's more than R120 but it's not half link... http://dialdbikes.co...core-chain.html Fair enough, and @R195, not too bad. After I have ridden through the 2 chains that I have, I might pimp per chain.Can't wait for Trailseeker at Van Gaalens on the SS.
