Just finished a steel, rigid, single speed mountain bike

I like building and/or restoring lots of different types of bike so when I picked up a nice Genesis IO frame the single speed mountainbike project was born!

I'll list full specs tomorrow, but here's a couple of pics. I do think it's quite a looker...

Very impressed,

A bit more information.

Everything is brand new except the frame and forks.

Genesis IO steel frame (small)
On-One rigid steel mountain bike forks
Clarks M2 hydraulic brakes
Charge Spoon saddle
Truvativ chain-set
FSA headset
Generic carbon seat post and bars
Rockbros pedals
A2Z single-speed conversion

I took the stickers off the 26" wheels when I first bought them, and now cannot remember what they are! I got them in a Chain Reaction sale for about £100, down from £180 if I remember correctly, but there is no info on the hubs or rims. If anyone knows what they are please let me know. 🙂

Rides very smoothly, although took me quite a while to stop the pads rubbing the disks, but that's why I love building bikes; this was my first disc brake build and you always learn something.

Need to work it out precisely, but it cost around £280 to £300 to put together.
