Trying this frame set out. May buy. These are hand built Reynolds 853 Steel Frames. Single Speed Only. Built up in New York.

I hear steel frames are very forgiving compared to aluminum. Never tried one but have been told.

Single speed ,rigid frame, steel...... Make sure you put a good mirror on it..... I mean since your going backwards you may as well ride it that way....

Kevin, you rode my Rig 29r, It was Single Speed.

Not sure about the rigid fork though. Dont know if my shoulder can handle it.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Well, decided to not get it. had almost zero standover clearance. With my Suspension fork it was going to raise the nose by almost 1.5"

Standover height is important.

"Yuppppppp, That important"............ said with a high pitched voice.

I talked with Jason about it, he said that it was the same with him but he just rode it that way.
