None reallyWhat's your point ?
Infact the pic where the ring has gone into the spokes is off a trials bike, which was asking for it really. I guess it would be okay on a commuter etc, but I'm too chicken to try it

The On-One was designed with a long top tube for using a 80-90mm stem for proper handling. By going back to a 90mm you've made it "normal" again. That said great bike I loved my old On-One, I wonder what she's doing now......... the best bit of advice I would give to anyone single speeding was also given to me, get riser bars with a slightly shorter stem, I now have a 90mm stem with the riser bars and it totally changed how the bike rides.

I'm loving this bike right now it rides so smooth, the best bit of advice I would give to anyone single speeding was also given to me, get riser bars with a slightly shorter stem, I now have a 90mm stem with the riser bars and it totally changed how the bike rides. PAUL hubs rock, they run sooooo smooth so I can over take geared bikes going down hills (sometimes)
Now I just need to get stronger to warrent such a sweet bike.

the new bars
Hey Steve, how did it turn out. Post up a pic if you have oneJust finished building up my first single speed since my BMX I had as a young 'un...
It's a pretty cheap project built mostly from parts I had lying aroung here as well as some parts from Triples, the OP (thanks )
I've built it up with slicks to see how I go commuting on it, Dunno if I'm fit enough for SS commute yet though
Around $750.how much are the new GT peace bikes?
Nice ride mate, threw up a little when I saw the carbon bars
I'm just not a fan of carbon, (carbon splinters are not nice) but each to there own.How come? Interesting comment. If its because your worried they may break those bars are actually very thin alloy bars wraped with carbon so hopefully a little stronger.
woops attempted to put a pic on the other post but i apprently suck at using the internet...Hey Steve, how did it turn out. Post up a pic if you have one
cheers
