Fresh Build @ Flandria Velosport

Lots of sun this afternoon

Paul rear hub. Paul= Made in 'merica =Good

Front end of Classic 1X1

Pure cycling pleasure.

In a desperation to keep myself busy I have completed another build. I had a great Voodoo Cycles singlespeed that never fit right. So it will go up for sale and in its place I built up a great Surly 1X1.

What a great machine. I takes monstrous tires, since the Michelin 26x2.0 seem like road tires on it. I built it up by chasing all threads, facing and tapping the BB shell , facing the headtube. Then for 3 long days I frame saved the whole thing. Then I took a dremel and took all the paint off the rear fork ends (mistakingly also known as track drop outs) so the rear wheel would bolt on to metal and not paint.

Installed Chris King headset and spacers in Gold. Truvativ stem and bars, Deore Xt v-brake levers. Marinovative V-brakes, which are incredible and no longer available. Front wheel is a Cane Creek Crono while rear wheel is built around a Custom Red Paul Singlespeed hub on a Mavic Rim. Bottom Bracket is Shimano Square taper with Race Face Forged 110mm bolt pattern 180mm Cranks. Chainring is Specialized with Spot Chainguard. I already changed the seatpost, saddle and Grips to Rock Shox seatpost, WTB Pure V Camo sadddle and Ergon Grips.

Tires are Michelin. Blue: We can now do Team Lime Green Surly!! Are you up for it??

Hope you likey,

Visit North Central Cyclery for all the Surly bikes including the 2009 frames and completes that are trickling in. They are 3 Pirate flag dealers and to note the only 3 pirate flag dealers in Illinois!!
