  Sorry its taken a while to digest this terrible news and pay respects. I met Hayley a few times when she lived in Bracknell. She came over to mine to sort a few bike things several times. The first time was early after the pandemic so we stood out side my garage spannering away wearing masks in clean air. She adored my then staffy pup, and enjoyed chasing her round the garden to retrieve her stolen shoes, so she is a part of that dog. I got to see the legendary Homer bike IRL as well!

  I moved to Scotland and Haley to London, but we stayed in touch, chattering away on the messages here. Hayley always gave me stickers. They got everywhere. I saw one on the garage floor up here in Scotland the other day and it made me smile.

  The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have
  burned so very very brightly.

  Thats a lovely frame. Big fan of Singular here. 3 swifts, an OG Nevi Ti pegasus (lols), a Puffin and a Rooster down the years.

  At your height, not only bar reach but also height might want to consider. Ritchey Kyotes a good consideration as one of few bars where hand position is in front of stem/bar. Also have a good sweep to be comfy.
  Sam has designed the latest Singular frames following the Surly way, so they are mid way between being long enough for flat bars, high enough for drop bars.
  Whatbars.com a good resource to check.

  Looking forward to following this build

  I can see a G-Line replacing the C-Line I keep in my campervan. My two major concerns are the weight and the increased folded size. Need to see one really.
