There was talk of someone starting a Singular pic thread ... so I figured I'd jump in and make it happen...

This morning at the trailhead I ran into Dave (SlowerthenSnot I believe) and his fixed Singular Gryphon... so here's an unusual site: 2 Singular's at a Colorado trailhead (Shinglemill Trail @Buffalo Creek).

Steve's Swift

Here is my Swift... I LOVE the way this bike rides!!!!!!!

I broke my thumb so I had to add a suspension fork to mine.

But I love that rigid fork! Looking forward to being able to use it again (but honestly I'm kind of digging the squishy fork right now).

Yeah, I can't even imagine changing back ... that Fox is a dream!

Nice Jersey... you get that from Sam or does Marty have 'em? PM me.

I now have a hankering for a Swift with a Lefty... Or should I wait for the new Kite cross bike?

dark swift is nice

I like the dark color on that bike. I just got a Gryphon, planning on going dark with it too.

I've been interested in buying a Singular for a long time due to the geometry and generous head-tube length, but can't now seem to find the company's US site. Can someone help a brother out and forward the link?

Also, is there any reason to be scared of the eccentric? Does it creak? Any other weak links? Are the tubes prepped with frame saver?

Thanks!

No issues with the eccentric. Like any EBB they enjoy it when you use a torque wrench to adjust. You must prep your own frame.

I'm running flat bars (w/ Ergon's w/ bar ends) and a 100mm 6* stem - just switched from a Monkey-lite lo-rise which had a flipped 6* stem, and it seems pretty darn comfy... I may take a small spacer out just to drop it a few mm.

As for fork - I've got a Fox F29 at 100mm and the bike is a dream! I rode rigid on a few bikes - and even this one for a bit - but I'm 45 years old and I can do more with the Fox and ride much longer ...

Good luck!

They come faced, chased and treated with Framesaver, or at least they did when I got mine.

 

[Guitar Ted]

Love this bike! Bought the frame and fork and have had zero issues with the EBB or any other aspect of this frame and fork.

Shown as I had it set up for the Gravel World Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska Saturday.

 

[jaredbadams]

Thanks! The link to the US dealer (Prairie Peddler) on the UK site is busted.

Oh yeah... that's right, mine was framesavered. They even say that they are on their site.

Here's my Swift in its second incarnation as a singlespeeder, its about to undergo another rebuild with an Alfine set up in mind.
