You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
After selling my R853 Sirius in a moment of madness last year I fancied getting back to having a dedicated single speed bike but with the versatility of gears etc if needed.
Basically I wanted another Pipedream esq bike but without the weight 😕 of the Pipedream frame*
So when this came up for sale I snapped it up.
Geometry and sizing wise its almost the same as the Sirius. Bit longer in the TT - Which is a good thing for me.
On my kitchen scales with dropouts and seatclamp the frame weighed 1840g - In my mind this isn't bad for a 20'' frame.
Currently built up with what I had - except forks.
No idea on weight - feels pretty light.
Still some fettling to do but hopefully its maiden voayage will early next week.
Anyhoo pics - albeit rubbish ones 🙂

* Although I never found it problematic the 19'' was nearly 1.5lb heavier than my same sized Soul 🙁
"ooh, there's a few flints left over from the raised bed thingy. I know! I'll build a small pyramid!"
I like th ebike although the seatpost looks like it's a tad too far out the frame for safety?

😆 Unfinished gatepost 🙂
There is plenty of post in the frame but I agree from that pic it doesn't look like it 😕
Perhaps the first ride will rectify things?
Lush - it's a shame they don't do a 19" to match my Wanga. 😥
Pipedream forks? How do they ride?
Thanks
Nice looking bike and garden
oxym0r0n - MemberPipedream forks? How do they ride?
Salsa Cromotos.
With the steerer cut a bit they become sub 1kg forks, which for steel forks I think is quite good.
My second pair of forks - they ride really quite nicely - removing a bit of chatter but at the end of the day they are rigid.
I did email Stuart at Pipedream regarding their forks but it put me off the fact that they didn't have cable guides - a strange omission in my mind.

Another SS djab owner here as well.

Things certainly look promising 🙂
TD - Nice red ascents 8) How come you removed the decals?
I am on the lookout for a ti layback post - waiting to hear from a chap on here re a Van Nic one
I love the red bits too 🙂
When i bought the frame (off here) they were all fading so I used nail polish to get rid of it
Did try and get hold of some new ones.
Mines the 100mm version. I presume yours can take 140?

I have no idea 😛
How can you tell?
Based purely on aesthetics our bikes seem identical 😕
I popped in a 29'' wheel on the front and the angle seemed way off doable even with using a 445mm fork 😕
What the serial no. on yours?
Well mine's a 2007 frame which takes 100m forks.. the newer one's are 140mm

I don't think the titanium Voodoos ever got through Halfords doors. Tim at Sideways was the main dealer until a year or so ago, I think. Lovely bike - I ride with a friend who has one as his SS. Never uses his other bikes now.
Funny, i got mine through Halfords

that has happened to me!
They did sell the DJabs in Halfords - I nearly impulse bought one from there for an absolute steal.
if i hadn't just been made redundant I would have bought one
