PYGA1 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Finally finished bulding my single speed, it is my dream bike and I'm absoulutely loving it. Final build:Brakes: Hope Race X2Wheels: Stan's Flow rims on Hope hubs (rear ss specific)Fork: Niner carbonHandle bar: Ritchey carbonStem and saddle post: Ritchey WCSSaddle: Selle Italia SLR XCCranks: Currently a Fire Eye (on loan from Grant Usher while I wait for my set to come in from the States Took the bike for its maiden voyage yesterday, rode from benoni to Suikerbos and did a lap, rode out from Benoni to Central Park track (red route) in modderfontein and back to Benoni. The bike handles beautifully on the single track, it will take some getting used to the rigid fork, my previous old ss had a suspension fork.

PYGA1 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Awesome! Need a red fork, red steerer spacer kit and a blue seatpost... Not really possible I know but it would look cool. Enjoy!Howsit Ryanpmb, I might look at a blue seatpost, I've seen a wet blue post on the Ritchey website, will see if it's available locally otherwise I'll order off chain reaction. The space kit is red, its just a lot darker than the stem, would look coll if I could get a match. As far as the fork goes there is no chance of red happening there, I was just happy to get my hands on a Niner fork. Really loving this bike Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/85763-post-your-mtb-ss/page/55/#findComment-1880914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - you did well to get that fork.I appreciate all opinions, no worries, there are 1 or 2 small things that I would change now that it's built.

Excite_Bike Posted December 10, 2012 Share You guys are really building awesome single speeds! Nice work! My rebuild should be up in the next two weeks. Momsen STR29 Frame, Momsen Carbon Rigid Fork, XT Brakes, ZTR Arch rims with ZTR 3.30 Hubs as well as the rest of the bits and bobs. Will post pics as soon as it is done.

Hairy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Nice build PYGA ... .only problem with the SS bikes here is that one wants to rebuilt your own rig and / or pimp it up then also build up a friend or two for the single single speed in the garage.

Singlespeed Posted December 10, 2012 Share You guys are really building awesome single speeds! Nice work! My rebuild should be up in the next two weeks. Momsen STR29 Frame, Momsen Carbon Rigid Fork, XT Brakes, ZTR Arch rims with ZTR 3.30 Hubs as well as the rest of the bits and bobs. Will post pics as soon as it is done. The Momsen STR29 is it a new frame? From who did get the Momsen Rigid fork? Looking for the Momsen frame and was told maybe in Jan.
