SS

[Sedated]

I own a Bianchi C.U.S.S. single speed and highly reccomend it. The
longer top tubes on the bianchi make for a good climbing single speed.
You can find a B.A.S.S. single speed complete on the mtbr.com
classifieds for $400 right now. It's an aluminum frame which alot of
people who ride single speeds don't like. However my C.U.S.S. is also
aluminum and it rides fine. People like steel because aluminum
transmits more vibration. The construction also plays a big role, you
can find nicely constructed aluminum frames like my C.u.S.S. that
don't transmit alot of vibration because of the tube selection and
construction quality.

The newest craze is the EBB which is definatley nice because you don't
have to keep adjusting the chain line everytime you remove the rear
wheel so it makes changing rear flats a lot easier. If EBB was around
when I bought my SS I definatley would suggest an EBB.

I also highley recomend wade at vulturecycles.com

I assume that's a jab at me? I don't talk up the Bianchis. I just like my
Surly, but I don't think I've been evangelizing. I try not to anyway. I
usually just respond to "What SS is good?" type questions.

Very nice bike.

I have a Kona Unit. (Frame is OX Platinum.) Rides very nice. Retails for a
bit much at $900-ish but I got mine slightly used from a friend for $500.
http://www.konaworld.uk.com/bikes/2004/2k4bikes/2k4_unit.cfm
It's now my favorite bike and gets more ride time than any of my others.

Gotta love it.

Another friend just got a Soulcraft. Nice.

I'll hafta check out that EBB thing. Although I never have much trouble with
getting the chain taut enough (I flip the bike on its top side and step on
the saddle while pulling the wheel back to tighten it. Works well enough.)

Anybody else thing this is more of spam than anything? "You can find a
B.A.S.S. single speed complete on the mtbr.com classifieds for $400 right
now. "

"I also highley [sic] recomend [sic] wade [still sic] at vulturecycles.com"

Just struck me as being a bit off....

I hate to differ, but here in the UK we have a little 'big' (small
manufacture that taken over the single speed market over here, so much
so that they are considered to be "THE" single speed manufacture over
here) called on-one (www.on-one.co.uk) and they are dropping their EBB
bikes in favor of a simpler and lighter sliding drop out and disk mount
like what kona have started doing this year

Wow! A Bianchi commercial. You sound like an "expert". I think I'll
go out and buy one.

Another glowing recommendation from an obvious "expert". Where have
you been all of these years when alt.mountain-bike has needed your
"expertise"?

Why?

Yeah, who was your third grade English teacher?

So do you!

Because I am. What's your point, other than continual harassment?
