Fubar Posted July 16, 2016 Share  old peugeot frame i bought for R150 and rest of the parts here. it took me a while to get all the parts and to build but the joy is so much sweeter. gear ratio 42/17 and back paddle hub for breaking. Edited July 16, 2016 by Fubar henningvr, Loose cog, BenReaper and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EugeneS Posted July 16, 2016 Share I saw this GT cx frameset in an ad here on the hub about a year ago and decided that it was ideal for the SS project I'd been wanting to do for a while. Local bike shop built the rear wheel around an eccentric hub (White Industries) for me and the rest of the parts I had lying around or found online. I love this bike - have been riding it for the last eight months while the geared bike is hooked up to the indoor trainer :-). Hope you guys like it. fanievb, BenReaper, Loose cog and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancordt1 Posted July 22, 2016 Share  My Bowery. Much pimped. Much loved and much fun. Mainly use it over the winter here in England as its less maintenance. IH8MUD and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanievb Posted September 6, 2016 Share first ride done on the weekend.Feels weird not having to change gears.I need to look at ratios as I'm spinning out at 25km/h. Climbing is a breeze with the current ratio though. edit: top-tube bag not a permanent fixture, I had no space for my keys and phone Edited September 6, 2016 by fanievb IH8MUD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
