Looks great! Always kinda wanted one.

@wenzovic @SasenFrAsen I've been on the hunt for a do-it-all frameset to replace my Surly Straggler for a long time now, and the Singular ticks all the boxes. It also temporarily satiates the hunger for a beautiful randonneuse. It's an excellent bike!

I will be looking to have a custom bike built in the future, but will probably invest a little more budget, and go to somewhere that specialises in low trail 650b builds e.g. Bantam, Map, LaFraise, etc

Yeah I figured I might have to learn to love the sunroof.

The ideal situation would be to pick one up that has an Mi16 fitted - hopefully saving some cash in the process since it doesn't have the original engine.

My dad had a 1.9 with a 1.6 gearbox back in the day, the acceleration was great.

Is it the extra weight of the 1.9 that has an effect on the steering? I'd be happy with either. Non-sunroof will be the priority.

Probably can't do both financially, not next year at least.

Speaking of antidotes - at the start of next year I'll either a) leave London b) buy a 205 gti

My Peregrine

Great bike. Not light, so no real use as a road bike. But awesome off road, or commuting, or touring.

Bump

Patches

Ideally looking for something that has tubing with a small OD and a curved steel fork!

I'm planning to start a new project, based on a used high-end steel frame. I don't have any affinity for a particular brand, so I'll pick it based on size, and the steel used in construction.

Can someone please advise what the lightest steel used in production frames across a)70s b)80s c)90s

I guess Columbus Max was no1 in the 90s?

I'm more interested in finding something lightweight, rather than strong/stiff.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing?

^ Yeah, they slip.

Go X4

That's some review

French fender day on Instagram has been great. So much rando.

Thank you for all the sugestions - I think I've narrowed it down to a silver Thomson or one the CNCd Nittos.

@TheBonk sounds great but I need 110 sadly. Thanks for the offer.

Any functional builds with matching silver Thomson post and bars?

The hunt for a good looking silver ahead is exhausting. Someone enlighten me.

This is excellent. What a vibe.

This is lovely

Nice work on the Singular. I'm super happy with mine - what a bike!

Marginal gains. For the £400+ retail on Paul's I'd want ABS and free servicing for 2 years.

What a great frame for the price. If only it were a couple of CM larger.

Attached a forum build to show how nicely these can be built up.

Yep, that was me.

Happy to oblige the skid!

Yup. BB7s are great brakes.

If you're interested in stopping buy the Avids, if you're interested in stopping hipsters in the street, buy the Pauls

The Paul brakes are great, although no better than well set-up BB7s.

I just swapped out an old pair of the same Gravelkings that I had on various bikes across a 4 year period. I think I had maybe 1 puncture per year on them. I'm always surprised to hear that people have problems with flats.
