XL frameset, Bontrager Race x Lite fork, FSA cranks, Surly SS hub, WTB rims with Exiwolfs, juicy 5.

I didn't want to break the bank, but wanted a fun 29er SS. Since finishing it, I tend to ride it more than my other bikes. Took two or three rides and it fits like a glove.

Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
American Classic 29er Single Speed wheelset, Bontrager Jones tires (2.2 front, 2.1 rear), FSA headset, BB & cranks, White Bros Rock Solid Carbon fork, Speedplay Frogs
Bottom Line:
Felt completely at home on this bike after first couple of rides -- more than I ever did on Scalpel after 12 months. With tire pressure at 25#/30# (front/rear) the ride is surprisingly smooth for fully rigid set-up. Ready to go fast and race out of the box. 29ers rule!
