Bontrager Privateer Comp 1998, Now Single Speed!
- Thread starter bonty98

OK, so I´ve fixed it up with the Chris King 18T cog instead.
I´ve had a problem with a stuck post that I´m now trying to solve.
Within the next couple of weeks i´ll hopefully get that fixed.
Here´s a pic for now.
I hope this bike will be really cool when it´s done

It´s SS now!
Hi folks!
After f**king up my seat post I´ve had the frame the entire summer at my LBS.
In the end it had to be pushed down the seat tube, and that really sucks!
I´ll never be cocky thinkng I´ll do that sort of stuff on my own again :facepalm:
The one thing that didn´t suck is that I´ve got my rasta bonty back :twisted:
OK, the only thing I didn´t have handy was a half-link. That would have worked nicely so I have the old middle ring (32T) in place of the blackspire (36T).
So it´s now 32/16. Not really workable for commuting but a real workout riding trails, at least for me. Let´s see what the future brings...
Enuff talking, time for pictures. I´ll update later on if I take some cool pics.
Especially with my rasta team jersey
I have to say that Bontragers look real wicked as single speeds :twisted:
Comments are welcome.

A little update as I´ve committed using the privateer as a commuter bike :facepalm:
I´ll try using a 42/18 gearing for starters as I´ve got lots of heavy climbing to and fro work.
Hopefully I won´t go back using the race lite, but time will tell.
Reusing a 42T XT chainring...
In all it´s glory.
And after riding in shitty weather. Swedish winters really suck anal as it´s cold as hell right now.
Hopefully it´ll be a lot better, soon...
Have fun and take care

And here´s the update.
I got hold of a real nice crank, Dura Ace FC-7410, which is 8-speed.
I got it from Italy and the guy shipped it super quick!
I´ll see if I can fix the oxidation later, but they look fine to me
And they´re really light, as you might expect
In there is the Chris King 16T cog that goes on as well...
