No kidding.


I think when I get back from the gigs at the end of the month I'm going to scrape as much as I can together and go slightly better than the Monocog. Maybe the Flight version or some other 29er w/ discs, etc.

I'm also going to talk to some people in the east bay, I still have some contacts at shops I worked at. The shops around here are...weird.

Makes sense.

I briefly owned a Flight - nice bike!

Don't forget to look into an On One Inbred though if you are considering a Flight. Just my two cents.

Feel free to PM me when you are ready to go shopping.

And keep your eyes open on the SF craigslist - that's a mecca for deals if you are smart and careful about it. Makes the bikes section of C-list for various parts of CT look unbelievably pathetic.

H8R's hierarchy of needs states;

Buy drums. Play drums. Get cash. Get bike.

Drums trump all. Always.

 

[H8R]

since n8 spent about double that...

Wait...wtf?

Are you saying he spent $6k on a single speed bike??


How is that even possible?

 

[narlus]

well yr original post was a 6K hardtail...remember that exo-grid ti-carbon nonsense, w/ all the bling parts? maverick fork, i9 wheels, blah blah blah? it had to be over 5K at least.

Buy a Monocog and be done with it. Stop the indecis-a-thon and man the fvck up already.

You're getting to be worse than lowko

I don't know how much he spent on it, but it's about the most bad-ass single speed I've ever seen. Not exactly a low buck commuter...

Post a pic of it n8, or a link to a pic of it. I wouldn't mind seeing it again...

SS was justa tad over half of $6k

SS was justa tad over half of $3k

You paid under $2k for that? Someone must have gotten a hook up.

oop... fixed original post...

Would have been exactly half of $6k but i decided I needed red Twin Ti Eggbeaters to go with..

not the retarded one gear, i was talking about the hardtail. or did you get a FS? i can't recall.

glad i'm using my scant brain resources for other, more pressing details. like remembering that my 2nd grade teacher was named Mrs Rome.

Worth every penny I'm sure. Such a beautiful looking bike.

ah yes... i am thinking about having another frame built so I can make it a geared hardtail with a sus fork just cuz i both a ss and a gearie

Not my cuppa tea, but a tits bike nonetheless.

It will most likely be the Monocog.

I resent the loco comment. Even from you.

For now I'm going to man up and order the double version of this piece of swankness:

I have a monocog, but it has little wheels.

of course it does

I didn't realize Weagle made drum parts too! DW foot pedals - do they feature some cool new patent?

 

[DNA]

It will most likely be the Monocog.

Unless things have changed with Redline, be prepared to replace the headset, bottom bracket and maybe the brakes. A number of people, including myself and Douglas, had problems with those parts.

Or at a minimum ask your shop to face and chase the Head tube and bb area - they come with paint on them that screws up how the headset and bb install.

Yup.

Every frame I've ever had gets faced, chased and honed.

A few...

U.S. Patent Nos. 5204485, 4756224, 5431081, 5578777. Foreign Patents Pending.

Waiting till I get back from NY next week. Too effin busy to bike shop.

Monocogs are virtually impossible to order online. I need to find one solid weekend to get out of the wine country and go to the dealers in SF or the east bay.

I've been looking on there almost everyday. No big frames.

Relax n8, I'll find one.

 

[H8R]

Down to:

Monocog 29er, if I can find a dealer in the north or east bay that will order one at or below list price. One shop quoted me $575 plus shipping.

Or:

Marin Muirwoods 29er. Pretty much the most commute-ready bike I could ask for. Even has rack and fender eyelets.

Or:


Bianchi San Jose - Took a larger one for a test ride. (I think it was a 58cm) I like it. I think I'd like the 61cm even better.
