I had only seen singlespeeds a few times but I figured they looked fun so I built one up. Here it is. I built this from parts purchased on Ebay and a few shops. The frame is a 19 inch unit. zero travel Surly fork, Race Face Turbine Cranks, Phil Wood singlepeed hubs laced to Mavic 719s built by Joe Young, Tuggnut, Avid brakes, Ritchey post, Chris King headset, Tomac Tenacious D bar, White Industries Eno freewheel, WTB tires.

  • The Ride: stiff aluminum, compliant fork
  • Climbing ability: difficult even with 32X18 gearing
  • Cruise factor: Rides smooth, good brakes, no travel, no gears, no problems
