I've got baskets mounted on at least 4 bikes currently (including my Sam) with basket-capable racks on a couple others. And I have a very strong personal aesthetic dislike of any front racks that attach to the fork dropouts, as well as racks or bikes that require P-Clamps (so ugly!) I know (I

It's all speculative at this point, since I don't know what if anything will replace the Monocog. I talk to a local builder next month and I'll likely be guided largely by him if we do agree, but a manually shifted QR rear hub is simple and works well, so assuming that setup the rear would be

Will do! The XTR stuff and crankset was claimed but I can post some photos of the stem and bars and such. I should mention that I will include Tektro long reach brakes with the frame as well cable stops for the shifter mounts. The Tektros look new to me. I think I got them from someone here.

OK, good luck in your information gathering. The hub vendor that I see selling a ton of different single speed variants is Onyx, but those have no chance at being anywhere close to your definition of cheapest. For those who don't know from repetition, I guess it would be worthwhile for you to

I'm not looking to buy anything yet. I'm wondering if such single speed freehubs are still made. I see ss freehub bodies for sale online but not hubs and I wonder if full hubs are for sale. I also wonder which are the cheapest decent ones and also which ones most users on the list would recommend.

I purchased one of the Rat King RIP racks early on. I use it on my Gus currently. It's a great idea; having a rack platform that can securely mount and unmount a Wald 137 without futzing with zip-ties... but I do have a couple of issues with it. For one, and this is purely aesthetic, if you
