I am looking to get into the singlespeed game. I have it narrowed down to 2 bikes - the Surly 1x1
and the new Surly Karate Monkey 29"er.
The 29"er looks cool, but I'm not sure my only singlespeed bike should be a 29" one. I have been
warned by some that it will not be as good in tight situations. Plus, it seems a little more
difficult to find 29" options for tires/wheels etc. (not to mention there would be no sharing of
parts from my other bikes)
The 1x1 appears to be a solid favorite of my buddies. However, I'm having a hard time finding one or
putting one together (at places like www.webcyclery.com)
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts? Go with the monkey? Anyone have any 1x1 bikes they
love (and how is it built?)
Thanks.
