SOLD - Singular Rooster 29-plus Frameset

[Dad2TnR]

This is a really nice steel frame and fork that can be setup as 1x or SS with the EBB. The fork has mounts for Salsa Anything Cages or extra water bottles for bikepacking.

The frame will come with a Hope headset for the tapered steel headtube (super cool - not done widely for steel frames yet) and a generic seat collar.

The geometry of the frame is VERY similar to a Jones, except for the A-C length of the fork (468mm or 80mm sus-corrected). IT rides great, almost intuitive. Only selling because I have 2 other steel 29-plus bikes.

The only flaw is that one of the 3 screws that holds the rear derailleur hanger on is sheered off. This was my mistake upon installation - the powdercoat was sprayed into the threads. It doesn't affect use of the bike though since it's the middle bolt-hole and the wheel fits very tightly in the dropouts.

Price is negotiable.

Pretty Sweet!  What Size and ETT? Thanks

[Dad2TnR]

Frame size is a "medium" per Singular.  Geometry sheet is attached.

Canyon seem to find info on this  frame.  Looks to be discontinued.  Could you give me a quick rundown on specs ? And an idea on price

This model has a bit of history with Singular. It was launched via kickstarter and much of the information is detailed on the kickstarter campaign page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1471361938/singular-rooster-29-bicycle

After the project was funded, it took a really long time for the frame to be produced - so long that the sole US distributor refunded pre-order deposits and severed ties with Singular. Ultimately, Singular did take delivery of one production run and sold them on their website, which is how I obtained this frame. Shortly thereafter, Singular was acquired/merged with a German (?) company, I think, and cut their frame lineup down considerably. The Rooster was one of the frames to be discontinued, as was the more popular Gryphon.

135mm rear spacing 100mm front? qr or thru axle up front?

[Dad2TnR]

Yes, standard 100/135mm QR. I ran Surly Knards on Velocity Dually rims and a Shimano XT/XTR 1x10 setup with no clearance issues.

How long is the Steerer? And any pics of it built?

[Dad2TnR]

The steerer tube measures 9 1/8 inches. Here's a picture of the complete bike.  Thanks.

Sorry, but looking for a sale only right now. Small Fargo would be too small anyway. Thanks.
