I'll see if I can find the original drawings of it for you.

Edit.
There you go.
Is it not a little big for you?

Stu, in true black sheep styles, what was in the pic ain't what the frame was 🙂 certainly a lot shorter than 23.5 ett more like 22.75 on a good day. Possibly why your big old beasty self never quite got on with it

I didn't say it was a representation of the frame I said it was the original drawings. 😆
Reminds me of of first and second frames he built for me.
First one wouldn't fit a 2.3 tyre in and the replacement for it was an inch longer in the toptube despite both being built from the same drawings. 😆
I'd already given up on them by the time that one arrived.
The guy's a ****ing clown.

Lol with stu, he does make nice forks though. Fingers crossed my new ti yobbo bike comes out as designed. Not a James bike though so it's in with a good chance 🙂

@kazafaza - That Longitude looks a lot of fun.

Is that a 19''?

Will the rear take a proper 3'' tyre?

To be honest, I rarely see another fellow human being when I'm on the singlespeed ... but that's because it's normally winter ... and/or dark when I'm riding it.

@letmetalktomark: 19" frame, proper 3" tyre on the nonproper rim, yes. Here on 28.8mm internal Ryde Trace sth:

BB might be too high for some, can't remember how much it was(305mm?)but I've ruined it with a longboing anyway. It is fun indeed 🙂

Late to the party as usual.
Surly 1x1 running 36x15. Not much of a looker maybe but probably gets more use than all my other bikes put together.
Reserved for mud plugging duties so used pretty much exclusively from October to May.

I've had a chronicle on a dually in the back of mine since I got it. Did the puffer on it ss last year. A bit of bike packing on it with 1x10. Awesome bike you can do a bit of everything other than enduro hooning with

My first taste of singlespeed, simply out of curiosity so I converted my HT. Enjoying it so far, but 32/18 is hard work on the short sharp hills around here.

Mine's been laid up over the summer, been doing a lot more road and gravel-cross type stuff than previous years and then have had the FS out for other rides. But It just needs a chain tension this evening and then I'm planning on a quick spin round swinners tomorrow to see how painful it is.......

[img] [/img]

Not a great picture, but it's a Pace RC129, slidey dropout, 853 steel with stainless chainstays.

Truth be told, it's not my favourite. I had a Swift before, and I'd happily swap this for another in good condition if anyone wanted to.

Oh and finally, while searching for a photo of it, I also found a photo of the pup when she was a pup, and we all like puppy pics so....

theotherjonv, did I buy my Inbred frame off you? Anyway it was somebody off here and it's still getting used a lot. 32oval x 19 on the South Downs.

Here, with fellow SSer mates on another inbred (on it's maiden ride) and a Cannondale trail

So far all my riding buddies who've had a go on mine up a single hill have built or bought their own ss.

I thought your Scandal snapped, DrP? Or did it creak a bit, then recover once you'd bought the Rootdown?

I thought your Scandal snapped, DrP? Or did it creak a bit, then recover once you'd bought the Rootdown?

It did..got it rewelded, rode it for a bit, then picked up another identical frame (well, in green)...the rewelded one is spare (i.e cluttering up the garage!)
