I did a few of my bike park days on my Nimble9. This thing is a silly amount of fun. I did swap the aluminum bars out for carbon after this though.
Beauty! All these N9's are tempting me... I did a couple of lift service days this summer on my SS hardtail and it was great, I find the larger wheels these days helps bridge that gap to having a full suspension, unless you're on the reallly chunky stuff. I didn't see any other singlespeeders, but I did see one hardtail lol.

Just finished this sucker, and it's even more fun to ride than I expected -- never built a fat-in-front before and it's working out great so far!

Mostly a craigslist / parts bin build, but some highlights:
  • '99 Gary Fisher Big Sur frame
  • New Surly Ice Cream Truck fork + 26 x 3.8 Knard adds some cushion in front
  • Maxis Holy Roller 26 x 2.4 on the rear seems to hold up well on the streets and mud & dirt
  • Surly Singleator keeping the chain on
Party like it's 1999 🤙

I love this... Have lots of questions :)
  • do you think it'd fit a 29x2.6 tire slammed?
  • do you typically ride a large or xl frame?
  • are you in the UK or did you have it shipped somewhere? I'm in the US and am wondering how the process would go.
  • how does it ride?! Are you happy?

Sweet bike!

Not a great pic, but you get the idea.

-Spark RC
-Fox StepCast 34 120mm w/ Grip damper (smoother than Fit4, and works great w/ TwinLok
-Force Short Cage der. as a tensioner
-TwinLok lever where the shifter would normally be w/ dropper lever on the left.
-Rimpact Tire inserts allow low/grippy pressures.

All ready to take on the Marji endurance race next week.

@Dan-W where did you get your frame from, and who did the anodizing? Looks great.

I just got done with a build myself. Frame is from Xian Tiancycles after I got the idea to build up a hard tail, which then morphed into a SS project. I’m 2 rides in, and it rips.

It’s definitely a bit over-forked with a CC helm at 140mm. I’ll step it down to 130mm or so. It could probably use some faster tires than the Specialized Purgatory T7/Butcher T9 on there now, but it looks nice and had plenty of traction.
