Building another singlespeed

Watch that front brake.

Or is that the newest weight saving trick?

LOL, I’m not done yet — awaiting parts that’ll arrive on the weekend. So I’ve been in no hurry to finish it — I have the brakes, just haven’t mounted them yet.

it's backwards

Needs more tape on the seat.

So "front fork" should go on the back, eh?

Latest in lightweight seat design is great.

Need to add a whole bunch of random numbers to your post to be taken seriously though.
The more decimal places the better.

Just saw someone who used a hardshell carbon seat and then covered it in foam because they said it was lighter then other seats. I mean it's your/their bike... But such clean lines and then WTH on the seat???

OR is that some sort of temp thing...? Sometimes you gotta do what you got to do to keep riding!

sParty goes brakeless, wait til D-Mac and Ali Clarkson show up...

This oughtta be good!

Saddle is the star of the show but that frame is pretty hawt. Those fork lowers though....how does one beat the dogcrap out of them to that degree and manage to have spotless stanchions? Mad props.

The saddle is wide enough that it deflects many things that would otherwise strike the upper half of the bike from the rear (a common cause for stanchion damage, so I've been told, especially on rear forks).

Or a new CSU.

Custom. One of my riding buddies builds frames.
Almost finished with the build; I’ll post more photos when it’s complete — today or tomorrow.

I hear you can save some weight by leaving off the grips and then wrapping and securing some foam padding around the ends of the handlebar. It's like how your gf limits calories by not ordering desert and then just eats yours.

Funny how that works, ain’t it.
She gets to eat dessert guilt free (cuz less) and I get to feel cheated out of half the dessert that I wanted all of.
Best of all, she gets to feel like she’s worth it since I just smile and say, “Of course you can, Honey.”
Meanwhile if I’d wanted half a dessert, I’d have ordered half a dessert.

Finally finished the 'technical' XC HT build

Got the bike back yesterday from the shop, made some minor tweaks in the garage (they didn't do the high gear limit screw right, that little kind of stuff). And waiting for a remote handlebar fork open/lockout lever from E-Bay. Other than that it's done! On a side note, whoever said in a...

I think he is! We all are. I am in the process of ditching all my saddles for these home built beauties. Borrowed my GF’s glue gun. To he11 wirh all the R&D that went into those store bought contraptions. Highly overrated.

sParty, that thing says playtime alllll over it! Let's ride bikes... 😁
