Hi all, gonna jump in on this thread.
I'm fairly new to SS biking, have had a Langster for two months now and love riding it, have clocked up 500km in 20 rides.
I am already think of my next singlespeed. I would like to have a more modern looking frame than the Langster. My main riding is done on a MTB (about 3500km per year), and I must admit I prefer the sloping look rather than the straight or anti sloping look.
The single is for riding around the country side as I live in the sticks and for when I don't want to ride off road with the MTB, rides are mostly between 30 and 60km trips. I don't ride fixed, using only freewheel and two brakes : don't slag me to much :) I want to stay with 700 size wheels, I do not want a MTB SS frame that is for 26" wheels, price range up to 500 / 600 £ for the frame.
The next bike I shall build up myself as I have done so with my MTBs but being new to singlsespeeds, I would love to have some suggestions for some frames, as its a whole new world to me and am rather a newbie.

Many thanks in advance
