DeKerf Singlespeed / Solitare Build...............FINISHED!!

Looks nice.

You are not running a tug-nut though? MKS make some very subtle ones...or a Surly. And a bolt-up rear skewer, Halo, Control Tech etc for a cleaner look
 
Why single speed may I ask?

Not sure why anyone would put so much into a bike a not enjoy the luxry of multiple gears.

Not trying to be offensive - just curious.
 
Gears???

As you can see from the links to my other bikes this is the only singlespeed bike I have.

I understand people build singlespeed bikes for many different reasons.

Mine is simple:

Its a beer bike!

If you live around Cambridge you'll probably see it chained to some railings. You don't need gears for biking around town and you certainly don't need gears after a few pints. With this build I can just jump on it and ride home.

See...........a bike for every occasion.

(also, check out my Yeti Arc build. That's my sober bike ;-)
 
Change of plan - bars and stem & levers

Not being happy with the bars and stem, I've decided to change them for RaceFace Carbon Next SL bars (100 grams exactly) and BLACK RaceFace Deuz stem. Should look much nicer hopefully.

NOTE: I want to replace the seatpost for an inline 27.2 Syncros or RaceFace. If you have one for sale please PM me.
