Updated pic of my Niner EMD9. Set it up as a 1x9 a little over a month ago. This is today, just after it got a much needed bath after yesterday's SART ride--all the creek crossings made things interesting!

I would love to have this, but there's only 1 in the world.

Just built this up. New to me 2007 Turner Sultan. Moved all my parts from my On One Inbred. Plan to cut the fork once I have it dialed.

Interesting -- geared rigid bike. Nice build, though.

Very nice bike, I bet that thing is a rocket.

Dang--lots of bling in this thread! Here's mine. Sorry about the ugly backdrop:

And since this has Nanos on it, I suppose it counts as my second 29er!

fizzy tango a9c - now 1x10 & 14.2lb

was fed up with expensive & slow suspension services for our trailbikes - so built this beasty as back-up/rainy day stomper

a rigid a9c's masses of fun to stomp hard & has improved my fitness immensely already compared to when i only rode the full suss trailbike

thanks

was toying with the idea of an S-Works Epic 29er frame build to replace my creaky '04 Epic - but the giddying ticket price + 142 rear hub size + ugly paint scheme ++ having to service the suspension every 30 hours made it an impossiblity - so took six months to build a carbon rigid niner instead

really skint right now as were still paying off the drivetrain + wheelset that went on the credit card - but it was well worth it imho

a9c's on the scales @ Helen's Cycles, Santa Monica last Tuesday in this pic

at home on the digital bathroom scales the bike weighed 13.5lb - so abit miffed that it was 14 ish - oh well!

Barcy titled his Vassago new bike thread “I’m single and hard”.

Not to be outdone, I chose to build a bike up as “single, raw, and harder”. I also wanted to title this "one NOT bad ass bike"......not black (fail), no suspension(fail), and no gears but one (fail)

These pics were taken before I trimmed the brake cables (hope the retentive Robo sees them like this and has a coronary)……could not wait to ride it….you know how it is. I gambled on the full rigid and single speed concept and I think I won because I really like it. I started out 20 years ago on a full rigid Bridgestone MB-3. This brings back memories, and I forgot how fast a rigid rear end is. One really feels like they are “one with the trail” on a bike like this which is really exciting, and it is not as harsh as I worried it might be.

Thanks Barcy and Kreechan/Moondog for sharing your excitement of 29er SS and rigids respectively, and North of the Border for getting me set up with the Stan’s Flows/Hope wheelset, White Industries Eno crankset, etc. Thanks to all the other DT’s posting the gorgeous bike builds and sharing about SS like Darryl, etc.

First ride in Sycamore/Goodan…….picked my lines a bit more carefully down Martha’s, but still probably went down only minimally slower than the FS.

Hey Basil, do you remember how much NoTB charged you for the flows/hope wheelset?
