Hi everyone,
Really more an EOI than anything as I'm not desperate to sell it, hence the fixed price..
Selling my singlespeed/fixed gear. I built this as a simple, reliable commuter (no gears, nothing extra added to weigh me down), and it ended up going out of control as I normally end up doing with everything that I purchase. Everything is no more than a year old, and is in superb, mint condition.
This bike has no expense spared, and every component on it is top quality, top of the range. You will not have ever ridden anything as quick, nimble and smooth as this.. its truly amazing.
Shhh! Bikes Miss Miles 56.5cm frame and fork (56.5cm top tube and seat tube). Suits anywhere from 5"9 - 6"2 depending on stem and seat height.
This frame is sourced from a NSW company called Shhh! Bikes, who has the frames made to their spec, tig welded out of butted cr-mo, with cnc stainless steel drop outs. Its light, stiff, and fast. The owner of Shhh! Bikes, Nick Roseby, is an industrial designer, and everything on this bike, from the geometry, to the design of the dropouts, and the stainless steel head badge, have come from his design pad.
This frame is 1 of 50 limited edition frames designed by Nick Roseby. They normally come white and grey, or white and silver. This frame was painted all white for a customer (who never ended up buying it, hence why I bought it) by Shhh! Bikes, and as such, its the only one in existence.
Componentry:
Velocity Deep V wheels, in titanium grey with braking surfaces
DT Swiss spokes & polished Formula high flange hubs with sealed bearings
White Industries Eno freewheel 17T
2x track cogs (15T and 16T) with lock ring
Continental white tread tyres
Campagnolo Record Pista cranks (170mm) and bottom bracket, 48T chainring.
1/8" YBN chain
2 sets of pedals (MKS Sylvan track pedals with MKS full toe clips and leather straps, MKS GR-9 pedals with half toe clips)
Tektro R560 dual pivot polished silver front brake caliper
Diacompe Gold Finger polished silver brake lever
Aerozine sealed bearing headset
Carbon fibre (real, not wrapped) headset spacers
Nitto B260AA handlebars with Superstar grips
Nitto NJ89 80mm threadless 1 1/8" stem
Nitto S83 seatpost
Nitto bar end caps
Selle San Marco Regal saddle in honey brown with titanium rails
Surly stainless steel seatpost clamp
Surly Tuggnut chain tensioner (has a built in bottle opener)
Niner YAWYD stem cap (you can clip your favourite bottle cap onto it)
Here is a great photo of it, although it does have the old handlebars, stem and seatpost setup

Here is another photo, with the new handlebars, stem and seatpost.

$900. This bike costs over $2000 to replace, and the price is NOT negotiable. You want? You pay $900, you got. If I can't sell, I'll part the bike, keep the bits I want, and put them on a new frame that I've got my eye on.
Cheers :)
