You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm thinking of selling a few bikes to reduce the fleet, so I might sell the 3 X 26" wheeled bikes and replace it with a 29er. I have a Karate Monkey, which I ride fixed but before going to buy another, what else should I consider, lighter would be nice. It would be for XC and some "racing" , used would be fine.......
Scandal if you can find one
That would be a poss, cheers....
*Hijack* Any pics/details of the fixed KM. Been thinking about doing just that!
Was just sat here working out ratios.
Salsa selma if you can find a second hand one. I kow a man that had 2 framea he bought mine after I went ti. It was loads better tham my scandals (I had 2, one normal and one wierd fixie prototype)
Surly ogre lol like a KM but bigger
Voodoo Bizango?
Billy's still had some new Selmas last time I looked.
Like the idea of the Selma. I run 32 X 18 on the fixed, prob most used of my bikes, great fun...this was just approaching the food station at Charlie's Gravel Dash last year ( hence the grin).......

^^ +1
Looked into a Stooge, but not keen on 1 size fits all, it didn't with the Jones and I'm not a fan of EBB's.
Was thinking I have no 29er disc wheels, so if I need to factor in wheels, I may think about a Krampus...........
I've got a Niner Air 9 (alloy) in medium that im thinking of selling as I rarely ride it due to preferring my full suss. Email in profile if interested
I'll throw in the Salsa El Marachii into the mix. But if you can find a Selma...buy it.
If you're not riding fixed, than anything, with a Singulator. I've got fed up with sliding dropouts, track-ends, EBBs, stretched chains, slipping chainrings, so figured a spring-loaded Singulator self-adjusts so I don't have to. Also gave me a huge amount more choice of bike-frames.
Presently on a Fortitude Race with a Rohloff hub.
I've got a medium V2 scandal frame in black that I'm selling (not got round to advertising it) - email in profile.
They're nice! I replaced with a solaris which I like a little more, but it is noticeably heavier...
I love my El Mariachi, ride it rigid ss in the winter and 1x10 120mm fork in the summer. All my other bikes are pretty much redundant
Billy's have the El Marichi on offer, small size only, £329. [url= http://billys.co.uk/english/group.php?prod=FMSA-2014EMO ]null
I've never had a problem with sliding dropouts. I have them on most of my bikes (road and MTB).
creamegg, I'll email from home later.
Ianpv, same.poss too big.
Brian P, Ta. I'll have a look
