Heres a shot of my Teesdale singlespeed Tom built for me last spring,(2003). What can I say, Tom builds a sick,(awsome) ride. By far the best feeling bike I have ever ridden. It is made from 100% 853 and sports a ecc bottom bracket. I had Tom add a rear derailure hanger in case I get too old and have to add a few more gears. But as for now, one is all I need.

That next poster is correct. It is a Sram PC-7X. It's heavy, but I don't break 'em. Plus, you got that cool little quick release on it.

Here it is.. Full rigid.. I also have another fork and caliper set up for it (FoxRLT80) but all it seems to do is collect dust!!! I guess I'm stupid like that!!!

Hugh,

Does your Seven have an "EBB"? If yes, would you go back to horizontal drops?

Just curious before I pull the trigger....

Just a note Jerry, speaking for Hugh, from what I've heard..he's very happy w/ his EBB set up and the whole build.

Hey Jerry

I have a Jericho and a Seven both of them have EBBs. I love them. No problems. I don't understand why people still build new single speeds without them. They are like that oven commercial>>> Set it and forget it<<< If you plan on running Discs its sweet. You dont have to mess with gettining the wheel straight. I have not found any drawbacks..

I totaly agree. Ecc bb is the ****. It stays put unlike those damn horizontial drop out. I don't miss having to retension my chain all the time or having to use those stupid tug-nuts. Plus if you go disc its by far the best route.

This is a shot of my Curtlo 29'er after one of the first rides. It's a sweet bike and I love riding it. Honestly though, I'm still dialing it in a bit. The Karate Monkey fork's a bit too harsh for this ol' boy.

Hey 1 Speed, Nice ride. I really dig the colors you got going. My next builder-upper is going to be all old school BMX looking with all the cool anadized components. That stuff is hard to come by. Thanks for posting your 29'er.

This was the first production EBB SS frame that Seven produced. For my SS 'cross bike, although I'm not using discs, I had Seven use a EBB because it had proven itself to me after 2-yrs of flawlessness.

http://gallery.consumerreview.com/webcrossing/images/SS_frontview(1).jpg

I've been racing on this bike for nearly 4 yrs.

Since this pic was taken last summer, many parts have changed. First, I'm not longer riding rigid...now using a SID World Cup, but have a new '04 Fox F80X waiting in it's box for spring.

Hope Mini brakes are gone in favor of Formula B4 SLs. From Oct to Jan, I tried a set of XTR/XTs, but these went back to Shimano Canada for warranty due to sticky pistons.

Replaced the RF LPs with a set of FSA Carbon Pros....very nice, stiff, etc.!

Ditched the EggBeaters in favor of my ultra-reliable 959s...man, I love these pedals!

Shitty picture...YES, shitty bike? NO
Custom Fillet Brazed Sycip with EBB. I love this bike. Sycip is currently making a segmented fork and bullmoose bars for it and then I will be very happy indeed.

I love this thread!
I am shopping for a Custom frame. I am thinking about Soulcraft and Kish. Any feedback on why I would go for one or the other?
