The SSWC is this weekend and previous winner Travis Brown will be on hand to try to take another victory. Just to make sure he puts in some effort, the guys in the US have built a new bike for this years event. Here's a few notes from one of the guys involved.
"Just a little one-off custom frame with prototype bottom bracket in time for Single Speed World Championships. You know the run of the mill thing...sent off to a Harley vendor to have a full polish job...then back in the building for a record quick graphics application...built up in time to catch a morning flight on the way to
A few things we learned along the way -
We can weld up a beautiful frame that shows off our talents and strengths
Polished frames are impossible to keep clean especially during build up
My new XT cranks are gone...for a good cause
Of note the specs are:
Custom 69er frame with horizontal dropouts and mid size BB
DT 240ss/Bontrager Maverick hubset custom painted brown
Polished Rhythm rims (tubeless)
Dry X Tires
Juicy Ultimate brakes
Race Lite Big Sweep bar
32/16 drivetrain with Bontrager chain guides".
Sounds pretty. Good luck Travis, with the 69er Collective snapping at your heels, I'm sure you'll have a great ride.
