Quote from: soopahflyWhy not just convert your cruz to single speed, then buy that, if singlespeed is your desire.


The SC indeed has drops designed for ss if you desire, but I think he mentioned wanting something a bit more pure "cross country" in the ss department. Ill have to check my gaim logs. :P

Perhaps he pooped a body double first :D

Well, its here, ive set it up and ive riden it...

and im speechless...

I cant stress how unbelievably good this thing is... the most impressive piece of mountain bike equipment ive come across since the Shimano XT V brakes in 1997 - stunning...

and heres something else which amazed me, its quicker over rocky ground than my Santa Cruz Chameleon with Pace RC36 suspension forks on... IT IS RAPID - the 29" wheels make one hell of a difference as do the forks - the handling is soooo sweet...

Im off to the bathroom... adios.

EDIT: pics to follow.

:D
