Having relegated the Singular mostly to turbo duty for a while, I finally got around to putting this together.
Still need to adjust the mechs/cables and the saddle is coming down a bit. I put the black bottle cages back on and they looked pretty odd so I think it'll have to be a pair of stainless steel King Cage ones again.
The wide wheels weren't going to clear the fork with the mudguards so I've gone with some R501-A and I'm trying some 25C Michelin Pro 4 Endurance that were also on sale at Ribble.
There are so many random silver bits that the headset doesn't look too bad, apart from (as expected) the top cap. A Tester top cap will sort that.
These mudguard mounting nuts are fantastic. I didn't have the right bolts for the back of them when I built the singular, though they wouldn't have fitted on the front anyway because of how spaced out the brake had to be to clear the headset. But they work perfectly here and they're brilliant - really secure and you don't have to remove the brake to remove the mudguard.
Ride report when I get a chance to get out on it. It's certainly an awful lot lighter than the Osprey.
