Since I think I have now have at least 1 bike too many, I am thinking about many permutations of how to build up a new sweet singlespeed. I think I have a few options.
One option that I thought about was using one of my newly built up bikes (see below spec) to contribute to the new build and where parts not applicable or optimal, sell the parts.....or sell the bike? Would a reasonable number of parts below even be a good idea for the SS with the rest being sold? I just dont know how much I will use this bike now that I have a singlespeed and I have a trailbike.
Another option is to sell my Surly frame and just get a new frame and upgrade parts over time.
frame = Rocky Mountain Element Scandium Team
cranks= Race Face Deus
BB = integrated with Deus
fork = 2005 Marzocchi Marathon Race
wheelset = King ISO / DT Swiss XR4.1d / Supercomp spokes / alloy nipples
brakes = Magura Marta SLs
shifters = SRAM X.0
fr der = XTR
rear der = SRAM X.0
cassette = XT
chain = PC-99 Hollow pin
pedals = Shimano 959
seat = Rocket V Stealth
seatpost = Yeti Arc Aluminum
stem = Syntace F99 (120mm)
bars = Answer ProTaper Carbon
grips = ODI Rogue Lock-on
headset = Chris King
tubes = ultra lites
tires = Kenda Karma DTC
seat clmp = Hope
cables = XTR
skewers = Hope
Cheers
