As promised here are the pictures of my single speed mountain bike. The frame is a Schwinn Mesa GSX, with Tange forks and a Miche headset. The saddle is a Tioga XL job, on a Kore Race seatpost and a hope QR clamp. The bars, stem, bar ends and bar plugs are x-lite, with hope spacers and a USE ring-o-star headset adjuster. The brake levers are Avid FR-5 and the grips are by Club Roost. The brake cables are silver braided effect ones by Jagwire,with middleburn cable oilers, a Shimano LX parallel push v-brake an SRAM 5.0 v-brake rear, and Clarks VRC brake pads. The drivetrain comprises a planet x single speed cassette, a 4-jeri chain tensioner, KMC 1/8" chain and Middleburn RS-7 Uno cranks with shimano SPD pedals. The wheels were built by me with DRC rims and dt swiss double butted spokes. The front hub is a gold Shimano LX, and the rear is a Gold planet x. Skewers are the new x lite tech 9 ones and the tyres are Tioga extreme XC with schwalbe tubes. Finishing touches are Crud Catcher mudguards and a wee neoprene headset cover on the lower race. Might take it out for a spin tomorrow...
