Hey there, I just recieved my new Dean/ Ionic steel singlespeed. It is very nice! nice smooth welds! Slider drops... i am going to build it up this weekend and post some picks. the guys at Dean were great to deal with. you simply can not beat the price for a hand made steel frame!
www.deanbikes.com OR www.ionicbikes.com they are the same guys, they build the ti bikes under Dean and the steel under Ionic. the Ionic Johnny Rotten SS starts at $800
pics to follow tomorrow probably
...bright orange, Reynolds 853. Sweet ride, for sure. It was only ever set-up "geared" (before I fell prey to the Dark Side that is singlespeed)...
That frame was a blast though, so I can only imagine for singlespeed! I'm also a major sucker for a slick white paintjob. Make sure you post the final build pics and first ride report! I have to admit, after reading your initial post a few days ago - I had to check-out the IONIC webpage and ponder a Johnny Rotten. hmmmmmm...
