Was pleased with it had it ages might be able to find the eBay sellers I'll try a find out tonight if my eBay history goes that far back and they are still selling

 

[MrGrumpy]

its ok just been looking much cheapness!! £20 approx. Might be worth a punt and seeing how comfy they are or not and whether they would snap ?? carbons carbon in it

 

[Nigel182]

Handlebars and Stem sorted although a few scratches from fitting but will be hidden by the BarTape


have changed my mind on the Saddle and ordered an Old Skool Selle Turbo....may sell the carbon one undecided at the moment.

 

[Nigel182]

Retro Old Skool Perch arrived Today......


Wheels and Tyres will be the next Purchase...getting there a little slower than I thought..... but heading in the right direction.

Ah bugger, that's a real shame. I've been enjoying the build so far. Hope you find yourself an equally nice frame for your single speed.

True That...still will keep my eyes open...... never know what will turn up.

Could you not build the Epic as a single speed? Or would you need to reset the width of the rear drop outs, which I'm guessing can't be done with carbon tubes?
