with the singlespeed craze sweeping the country (ries) i was made an offer i could not refuse for my ss. so i parted ways from the "[censored]" (thats what i called the bike) and got myself a balfa "belair" balfa.combalfa.comOpen ↗ what a change i must say, with 5" front and 4.5" rear of squish im always looking at my tires to see if they are flat. but one thing is the climbing abilities, this bike climbs tech stuff better than anything i rode before. i must say its a real eye opener. the question is will i get another singlespeed? well hmmmmm i will have to think about that one.

Ahhh, I seem to recall on one of our various epic rides (with various witnesses to back me up), you made the claim that you would never ever give in to the FS masses. I see that the masses won...I knew you wouldn't be able to resist...
I can't believe you sold the old [censored]. Who was the lucky fellow? Whatever happened to the fartsy tartsy Look frame?

Wow, someone with some brains. Way to take advantage of the braindead single speeder. Bankroll the new FS with the proceeds from the singlespeed. Perhaps I'll get one, resell it, retire early. Sounds like a plan.

I hope you enjoy your new bike. I still have your website in my favorites and always enjoyed your Toronto ride pics.
I'm actually going in reverse of your direction; I started out with full suspension and have enjoyed riding my rigid Kona Hahanna more then anything over the past few months. I was thinking of buying one of the Redline Monocogs over the winter and building it up; Jenson USA was selling them for $115 for the frame, but Johns had problems with his so I looking at either the KHS Single One or the Kona Unit.

ummmmm yes i do recall making such a statement... but what the heck squish feels so nice. the guy who bought it works at my "foam" plant, he rides mainly bmx but wants a bigger city bike lol gawd the look frame "shudder" that i sold also, building up a norco team trials norco.com853frame.htmOpen ↗ that i scored to ride in the factory. we built a bunch portable stunts which interlock any which way , sure beats riding outside in the snow, slush and nipple freezing temps. plus we crash on the "foam"

Ahh, nice nice, a Ryan Leech signature frame, nice...
You finally built the stunts in the facility. You couldn't build them when I lived there, you stink Chris :-). Is Brian still around?
I'll be bringing my Nukeproof trials [censored] bike up there soon, get those stunts ready...

Have you checked out the KHS? If I am reading the small print correctly on their website, the bike complete is under $600.
I once had a KHS. It blew up on me. Not a bad price for the Solo-One, although there are some components that are iffy, it weighs 30lbs and the softail design really isn't necessary.
