Another Win for Steve - Second Overall in Gorrick Masters Series

Things have been a little hectic at Singular HQ; a house move and lots of new frames on the way, plus trying to make the most of decent spring weather and get some riding and racing in. Yesterday was the last race of the Gorrick Spring series. Singular's man Steve Webb did us very proud by winning the last race of the series by a huge margin of over 3 minutes. I didn't make it as the previous night was a bit of a housewarming bash at our new place - Steve's restraint when faced with a fridge full of beer paid off.


Taking him to victory and consolidating second overall in the series was his prototype Singular Pegasus singlespeed. A special build with light Stans 355 rimmed wheels, Racing Ralph tyres, other decently light parts bringing the package in at a hair over 19lbs.

Finished some interesting builds lately as well. A couple of Alfine projects which took a while to get together but the results I think being worth it.

First is a special Peregrine built for the back tracks of Uganda. Rory came to me wanting something sturdy enough for his rounds out of the bush hospital in which he works; low maintenance, but still with some classic style. The result was a build aound a Shimano Alfine internally geared hub, Nitto cruiser bars and some fairly standard parts so as not to break the bank. More pictures here.


Previous to that I finished another custom build around an Alfine hub - Peter basically wanted the worlds toughest road bike. This was built around one of the few remaining Gryphon sample frames, the internal gear hub, and the newly released J-Tek shifter designed for use with an Alfine hub and drop bars. I was really impressed with both the finish and function of the shifter, highly recommended for Alfine/Nexus hubs with drop bars.
