26" SS with Sliding Dropouts, any out there?

3918 Views 23 Replies 19 Participants Last post by  r1Gel
So it seems most of the production single speeds are now 29ers. Does anyone know of a production one that still uses 26" wheels and has sliding dropouts, i.e. paragon sliders or similar.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Motobecane Outcast , frame only @ www.bikeisland.com
Lynskey 26" Ridgeline SS. Have one; works great.
Whats a 26" bike for?? :)

Voodoo has a couple of models that are inexpensive, and pretty much any custom builder will make one for you! Check out www.formcycles.com - VERY sweet and light Ti/steel bikes...
Voodoo Wanga.
Kona Bass (full suspension!).
on one's come in all flavours with sliding drop outs

I just bought a 26" inbred and got it shipped over to Canada
I think the moots rigormootis is available with sliders...

I thought that only the original 853 Inbreds had sliding dropouts? The current ones certainly don't.
Pipedream Sirius R853

Looks damn good value to me for an 853 frame - if I was after a 26er frame I'd have one tomorrow...
Ventana makes 26" 650B and 29" with their own version of sliders.
This is my 650B equipped version.

Thanks a bunch

You guys have given some great options. As I said before, I'm looking for production. They guy that is in the market for one doesn't have the coin to drop for a custom frame.

Thanks again.

i have an older ebb model and it's a good ride that currently serves as an offroad fixie. New models come w/ paragons. They've upped the price since i bought mine a few years ago and there might be better values out there but they do make a quality, good riding frame.
I have an older (pea green) redline monocog with sliders

The older On*Ones had sliders. I think you're confusing sliders with track ends. The newer Inbreds/Scandals have the latter.
Let me second the Kona Explosif suggestion. I love the way mine rides and the versatility it affords. And $400 for the frame means you can build it up pretty nice without spending a huge sum of money. -LB

Are the swinging dropouts now standard on Ventana's HT's or a custom option? I don't see them mentioned anywhere in their website.
