LOL, somehow I missed this.. Boy that is a bad site.. . Anyway, in that link I just posted on my singlespeed, I sure look cool but I had a few things going for me, 1) friends birthday the night before so hungover, 2) slept too late so didn't eat until late/an hour before the ride, 3) I was in a hurry so it was Burger King (a salad though but still..), 4) it was my first real ride on a single speed other than one last year when I was in shape, my first ride on my own single speed, and finally 5) It was my first ride in a year, for about the last two months I have been surfing my office chair for exercise...
So in conclusion, it completely kicked my ***, and I hurled at least 4 times... LOL... And finally I got a flat at the end and managed to bring everything except my little patch kit... But I filled up with CO2 and managed to get me to the parking lot though.
My buddy on his spot though, he is a machine... Again won a bunch of races on his spot single speed... A good friend but I've never ridden with him, truthfully I am a little scared to ever go out with him...!
Anywhoo!

Funky good, or funky bad? Spot's web site blows. I've told Frank a few times he needs to trade out a frame for a new site......
....Andre....you hearing this??
Anyway, Spot uses Deda steel. Tig welded. The beauty of a spot is the simplicity and the geometry. Both are spot on.
As for the race, it was mega pain. Serious pain. The course was in my back yard on trails I wouldn't wish on a mortal enemy. There were rocky sections, steep rocky sections, loose rocky sections, techincal rocky sections and some sections with lots of rocks. Not my favorite. I flatted and lost some time. All in all, it was pretty fun. Floyd Landis was in town and created a lot of buzz.
Lots of Colorado boys in attendance.
I have a good friend on a 29er single speed as well... It is currently his only bike, really really hard rider, has already won a couple races on it
