  • Had to get myself a fat bike ... and since Singular made one my choice was made.

    First thing done is the wheelset. Tune Fat hubs + Marge Lite + CX-Ray.

    I also ordered a Race Face crankset and Hope headset.
    Still undecided on the remaining parts.

    Going single speed first. Maybe 1x10 later.

  • drooooool

  • OOh!

    Subscribed :-)

  • I'd go shimano xt rear mech, and the matching raceface thick thin chainring. Get the ispec xt brakes for a simple uncluttered handlebar.

  • Sounds incredible already!

  • xt brakes sound good ... ispec as well.

    should i get 180mm rotor on the front or will 160/160mm be enough?
    not so many big hills here but I'm no lightweight.

  • Swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag wheels schnitter. Sounds amazing.

  • Sorry if off topic slightly but am I right thinking the front hub is 135mm spacing? I have been looking at one for a bolt on fixed cog rear to go on my Day One, if that makes sense?!

  • Yes it's 135mm

  • Hope headset and Salsa stainless skewers arrived today:

  • This is exciting. When do you receive the frame? Does it take longer because it was kickstarter backed?

  • Late February to early March.

    The production itself didn't start before the kickstarter project was successfully 100% backed ... but I really liked the idea of having a bicycle frame made possible with Kickstarter.

  • bump

  • Still waiting for frameset ... sadly they are held up in Taiwan.

    Will post pic of some new parts soon though.

  • got a cheap ti seatpost ... unfortunately I doubt I can fit the oval carbon rails on there :(

    crankset is in the mail, so only need to get a few small parts

  • is it 27.2? interested if it doesnt fit

  • Going on my tourer in that case

  • cranks are here :D

  • Aaaaaand the frame?

  • shipped from taiwan ... but I doubt I'll have to wait before May

  • this shall make you happy

  • yes indeed, very happy ... the wait is coming to an end.
    don't have to lurk around on the Singular FB-page waiting for updates anymore.

  • Haven't they missed the boat a bit?

  • Did you get the saddle on that seatpost? I tried a similar combo, Gobi carbon rails and USE Sumo, and it was impossible to get the rails to to slide through onto the mount. Ended up exchanging it.

  • nope.
    read somewhere that oval seat rails don't fit to this stem.
    will use a thomson elite for the start ... will sell the ti seatpost probably.
