http://www.ukbikesdepot.com/products.php?plid=m11b0s72p1329

I got this tool and it gets another vote :-)

They ran out of stock in 61cm size :-(

Anyone bought this size and found it to big? :-)

I got a small frame with fork and headset. giant bowery 2008 black and chrome combination. size s 47 cm frame in a+ condition if that can help you . It's something with so called compact road geometry so it can suit a slightly taller rider than normaly expected for 47cm. the top tube is 54cm and the stand over hight of the complete bike is 75cm. if any useful i sort out some pix this evening.
cheers

Hi all,
I'd be quite interested in white powder coating of a frame.
I live at reading. Where about is that powder coating company that you''ll use?

Hi. I'd be interested in the frame. Is there any time I could have a look at it? Feel free to email me: rgms1986@hotmail.com. Any pics would be great.

Hi there,
I am interested in surly singleator if still available.
Would you post it?
Cheers

welcome ile, nice conversion. i like that, solution to a problem, bang, done! Only a matter of time until you order that custom frame with track ends eh?

any aspirations to ride fixed or you sticking to single speed for now.

Cheers for the warm welcome Ved :-)

I recently bought a 23" vintage pug premiere in great nick and a pair of flip flop track wheels. for the fixie conversion. I'll post some pix as soon as i get on top of it:-)

The Rustbucket MK II is now complete, and ready for the pub.

Looks really cool to me :-)

Looks like fun. I'm not a massive fan of that tensioner, but that's largely an aesthetic issue. Perhaps you could look into magic gears if you ever manage to have the bike to yourself for a while.

To be honest the choice of tensioner was made for only one reason which was it's price. The thing costed me about 6 quid from ebay :-) It's ugly but it does the job quite well.
I will probably try to find that magic gear sometime:-)
Cheers

Nice, conversion,
SS is usually funner than gears,
and do you like live in the Hills somewhere,
39/16 seems awfully spinny.

Cheers buddy :-)
I don't live in hills but my wife rides this bike often so that's the reason for 39/16 :-)

Hi all,

Happy new year 2009 :-)

Here is my first singlespeed conversion.

The mechs messed up so i deicided to get a few bits and bobs and make it singlespeed

And here it is: Giant OCR in a singlespeed version

For some reason i got a shimano alfine tensioner which works only with 3/32 chains but gives really nice tension and perfect 42mm chainline.

The conversion was really cheap and quite funny diy.

The bike is so much funnier to ride now. The ratio is 39/16. It's smooth and easy to pedal.

Cheers
Igor

are the bits still for sale?

cheers

Sometimes a lot of wd40 left to soak helps with stuck pedals :-)

still in the nursery :-(

edy,

your bike looks really great :-)

this thread is great as well.

i am starting to convert my giant ocr4 into a single speed:-)

How about a tiny bit of anti seize copper grease :-)

Looks very interesting :-)

Looks very nice :-)

Where did you get the parts from?
