Finished the painjob on my single speed a few weeks back, and I've been riding it a lot.
Weighs around 25lbs, rides like a dream. The low, short front end climbs really well, especially on the steep stuff. Rocky trails are just fine, even at speed, with the short stem on the rigid fork.
Frame: 1996 Specialized Stumpjumper A1 Premium AL
Fork: 1998 GT rigid Chromoly
Headset: FSA Pig
Bars: Easton EA70's, 27" or so wide.
Seat: WTB Ti, by far the most comfy seat in the world.
Cranks: Truvativ Holzfeller 175mm, with ISIS DH BB. No flex!
Cog: bits and pieces of an Alivio cassette and some PVC pipe.
Wheels: XT hubs with Mavic rims
Tires: Tioga 2.3 Factory DH front, Specialized 2.1 super uber XC pro rear
This bike is soooo much fun!
