"Black Sheep, Black Sheep, have you any wool.....?!"

So... this has just arrived :shock:

My first foray into the world of 29er single speed mountain biking, a Black Sheep High Roller!

Will post more pics once I get stuck-in properly to cleaning it up and starting the build... in the meantime, here are a few of it just out the box

Yes they are, 15mm bolt through, and after a de-stickering and de-greasing they got a brillo pad session over the kitchen sink... and they've come up a treat!

Ordered up 18 and a 20 tooth Absolute Black single speed cogs to experiment with.
The CNC machining of these is amazing... like little bits of bike jewellery!

Most of the morning spent giving the frame a freshen up, it really is a lovely thing, the welds are something else!

Gave the head badge a freshen up with a paint and polish too.

Nice.

Heard some good things about these frames. I'm sure you'll love it!
