Im selling my Rock Lobster single speed to make some room and fund another project! Ill be very sad to see this go has its an absolute gem of a bike.

Paul Sadoff built singlespeed frame built from NOS Tange ultrastrong 17".

Rock shox Reba RL fork in excellent condition.

White Industries Double/double drivetrain with Eno hubs

Hayes Ryde disc brakes and Salsa Delgado Disc rims.

Acros headset, Thomson seatpost & stem, Ritchey bars, Avocet saddle.

Bontrager kevlar Jones tyres.

I would like £650 for this and it cost me around £1600 to build! Pictures coming tomorrow. PM me for any questions unanswered on here.

Will also consider splitting
 
Top tube

Curse your shortness or my tallness :roll:

What are the chances that this has a 23" TT .......

Im 5-11" fella and this frames got a sloping top tube and a tall headtube. Mr Sadoff built this to put the rider in a perfect single speed postion. Id say the top tube is shorter than 23". My cockpit area reach is a from 545mm to 550mm.

If you measure from the front of saddle nose to the front of handlebar stem around the bolt area on your favorite bike it will give you an idea ;)

Here it is. Dont really want to break this up. It is way too good a build to start stripping it and for £700 someones getting a bargain :shock:

The frame has some light marks and the odd chip but then again its in pretty good shape. Il throw in a set of genuine decals incase the new owner wants a future repaint.

L/hs dropout adjuster screw is slightly lower than r/hs..think Mr Sadoff was on the wine when he built it.

Theres steerer left on top of the stem for adjusment too.

Any questions please ask here or by PM.

geometry

erolorhun":2hkyica9 said:
How much for the frame? Some geo numbers please

I really dont want to split this up matey. The geometry is unknown by me :?

However Paul Sadoff still has the drawing for this frame. The frame has singlespeed specific geometry though making climbing a lot less of a chore than converted to singlespeed frames ive tried.
