For Sale: Parts bin single speed hack MTB

Built this up for my wife to take to work but she hates it :D

Its a cheapie bankrupt stock 17" steel Saracen frame with Kona P2 forks and the rest built from bits I had hanging about.

Main bits are STX rear 7 speed hub with a Surly rear cog and spacers, no name front hub both on Mavic 238 rims with hardly any wear. ** Front wheel is not the one pictured**

LX chainset with new Salsa 32 tooth chainring, new KMC chain, Syncros stem, new Cane Creek S3 headset and you can see the rest in the pics :)

£100 posted to your door :) Does not come with pedals unless you want some very cheap flat ones fitted.

p.s no tensioner fitted as its perfect without one :)

Polo bike for the taking!

Man that quite a decent MTB built mate, great for polo as well!

PM'd

chain set and cranks when you split

I'm out if anyone else is interested, my bloody Paypal account is fcked at the moment.

Won't be splitting sorry, if it doesn't sell I'll use it as my pub bike or put it on ebay :D

Perfect for the future polo player.
Come on! Hang out with a load of reprobates and drink loads more than ever before.

POLO-tastic! Someone pick that up and get playing.

I know it's a bit random of me to post to this thread and for all I know everyone has stopped reading it by now, but here goes:

I am trying to work out the solution you are using for the front crankset/chainwheel. I am currently doing my best to convert a MTB to SS and I am struggling to find a single chainwheel solution for the BB.

Looking at my MTB frame it seems that the chainwheels have to protrude quite a bit to avoid crashing into the chainstays, which means I am forced to stick to the heavy and ugly 3 chainwheel crankset that came with the MTB. If there is a way around this please help me out. I've been looking for threads on this topic without much luck. And perhaps someone could mention some product names?

Thanks!

Think you can get an extra long bb and run a single crank on that, should give you a decent chain line too.

Someone on here will know more than me though.

keep the bike- just get rid of the missus

yup, long BB, around the 118mm region probably, although best to check.

I got around this problem on an MTB conversion by using the original crankset and removed the inner and outer ring then used a cassette rear wheel with a converter from Charlie the Bikemonger. you can jiggle the chainline to get it spot on. the kit is about 17 quid. the cranks dont look great but its functional.

Wider BB it is! Thanks for all your help.
