Built up already but too dark outside for pics.
It's a bit of a beast for a singlespeed.
Dropper post and 140 fork so not you normal SS build.
Feels teh awsum at the wheelie it up and down the road test.

Nice!
Built up already but too dark outside for pics.
Bring it inside. Looks nice.
Your wallpaper looks fluffy.
Bring it inside.
Off to the pub now. 🙂
Your wallpaper looks fluffy.
And magnetic.
Is disappoint. I can't take the pee, yet 😛
Bastardo! Not jealous at all.
Had my eye on a 2Souls after my [url=
]'hand made with love in Italy' 29er frame turned out to be such an anticlimax[/url] but couldn't justify the wonga - have an El Mar now.
You'll have a lot of fun with it. Mine's done everything from XC racing to Alpine DH tracks.
I've got a lot of bikes but my 2Souls is probably my favorite.
Running a dropper on my rigid Selma now, so put your failed hyper-niche attempt back in the box it came from.
Ps love, it stays regardless of any weight weenie whining.
The chunky tubes, seat tube brace, dropouts and line down top tube to seat stays make it look like an Evil Sov. I approve.
I got one of them too, it's awsum
Is that a copy of the FT on the down tube??
Needs more pics, like now. 😆
It's a leather sleeve. Looks a bit odd when new but weathers and ages nicely.
Very nice.
I decided on a Solaris rather than one of these 😕
Look forward to finished pics 8)
That looks right proper stu, i hope your bringing it up at the end of april - both of us on 140mm hardtails eh? - this could quite possibly end in a trip to A&E 😀
Ooooh nice, can't beat a bit of 140mm SS action.
Running a dropper on my rigid Selma now,
😯
you will burn in hell and damnation for doing such a thing to a slinky race bike....it's like putting leg callipers and an orthopaedic shoe on dita von Tease!
i hope your bringing it up at the end of april
I'd like to but i might have to leave Amanda behind to make room for all the bikes i want to bring up. 😆
Very nice stu- Nowt like a lightweight fat bike tho'
It weighs about as much as a light weight fatbike.
Leather, eh? I hope you've built it up with funny bars, leather bar tape and a matching Brooks seat...

Pics, pics, pics, pics, pics....
It's daylight now....
Look forward to seeing this built up. Love my yelli but always had a soft spot for these since they started making them.
Not a fan of brooks saddles or leather bartape myself...
Oh and I like a nice wide flat bar with a suss fork.

I'll do some in a little while.Just charging the camera up. 8)
Good man, looks reet nice like...
Looks lush that, never heard of it.
You're so niche!
🙂
Very nice. What's that finish like in the flesh? Looks industrial - like a shovel or a wood burner. In a good way
It's a ceramic coating.
Industrial looking but smooth to the touch.
Supposed to be quite hard wearing too.
So, you're up...where are the pics? 8)
If you're dead impatient, you could look on the guy's photostream on Flickr...
Just waiting for a new bar and shorter stem then trim the steerer a bit more and it'll be done.

Awesumz.
That looks awsomnez.
I'm strangely attracted to that. It looks " right "
Very nice stu, I was gonna get one of these before I bought my last frame, I love my 29er with 140mm forks its just so much fun
That looks topmendous. What size frame and what does it weigh?
Nice bike, looks fun to ride.
I like the low frame and seat tube design.
Do the front fender work?
Frames a large and it weight "a lot*". 😆
Yep fender works quite well.
*6lb
Any first ride impressions relative to the yelli? Be interesting to hear a comparison once you've got it set up how you like.
I'll let you know when i've had a propper ride on it.
A lap round the local park doesn't really tell me that much.
Dropper post and singlespeed? Do they not cancel each other out?
Looks fun but I don't really get it - my Evil was pretty hopeless as a SS but the best thing ever with gears..
but I don't really get it
That's OK [b]you[/b] don't have to.
Dropper post and singlespeed?
Just because it only has one gear doesn't mean I don't want to ride it down steep shit.
It's just a mess about with mates in the woods bike. 🙂
Looking good Stu, what bars did you go for?
That looks the bollox stu, if you don't have enough room in the car to bring all the bikes up then post that up to our shop beforehand and we'll put it back together and [s]rag the arse off it round the trails[/s] take extra special care of it and place it on display in the shop 😀
Went for an 800mm RaceFace bar in the end.
Kenny.
It's too big for your wee short legs. 😀
That is teh awesome
Is that an ashtray on the seat tube?
Very nice mind!
Pop.
It's an open seat tube.
I did think about putting a reverb stealth on and routing the hose out of there.
Dropper post and singlespeed? Do they not cancel each other out?
No it doubles the fun and adds a bit, the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.
Enjoy your bike SSS!
Get your back wheel slammed.
Get your back wheel slammed
With that gear combo it's as slammed as it could get.
Even a halflink wouldn't help. It's only got 14mm of adjustment.
In fairness though i did have to take a link out of the chain when i transfered the drivetrain over from the frame it's replaced.
My legs are not short!, they reach all the way to the ground, fair enough i do get gravel rash on my arse cheeks when stepping up kerbs but that is no reason to mock my non mandatory government regulation height conformist stature.
Who do i complain to regarding this heightest behavioural slur?.
You can complain to me if you want.
If you have a strong argument i might buy you an aloholic drink of your choice.
If i on the other hand have longer legs than you i will expect the favour to be returned.
