I have built an "Ultimate Single Speed" at least to my mind and I just can't really afford it at this point (or the thought of it being stolen). So I'm selling it as a whole or just the frameset. Most of the parts (with the exception of the wheels are Brand New/Never Ridden)
Specs:
FRAME: 80's Evans Touring Frameset 56cm ctc seat tube 57cm ctc top tube - It's PO5 (I think) from the 80's. (I bought this on ebay about 2 months ago for bidding auction up to 185, so I'm going to offer it at that) .. Very clean frame (the cleanest vintage I've ever seen), I haven't noticed any marks. Seems to have been ridden, but kept indoors, and ridden slightly.
WHEELS: Mavic MA2 36h laced to Shimano Exage hubs (straight and tight, still shiny). Thought this would be a nice period(ish) matching wheelset to the frame.
TIRES: New Panaracer Pasela Tourguard 700X32c (New with Kevlar Bead) (My favorite tires for single speed, particularly in the city .. gives you absorption without losing too much speed, perfect size I find).
CRANKSET: New Sugino RD - My favorite crankset/chainset combo for single speed. These are new and shiny. 47t I believe.
PEDALS: MKS Touring Pedals
BRAKES: New Tektro CR 720 Cantilever Brakes (Polished Silver)
SEATPOST: New Nitto Humble Seatpost (http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/sp4.htm)
SADDLE: Not Pictured Brooks B-17 Black
HANDLEBARS: Nitto Albatross Touring Bars - http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/hb2.htm
BRAKE LEVERS: Tektro Inverse Brake Levers
TAPE: New Black Brooks Tape
STEM: New Nitto Pearl 60mm
FRAMESET = 185
COMPLETE BIKE = 525
The pictures are very lukewarm .. All I had was my iPhone and the kitchen this morning and a few parts of the bike are complete yet (which I don't want to do if someone doesn't want the entire bike). It gives you an idea though. Sorry about that.
