I got this off Craigslist for $140. I keep thinking about upgrading it, but then I remind myself it would sort of defeat the purpose. It's heavier than my full sus but SOLID dog.
I came across Renovo Bikes in my time spent researching wooden bikes and what started as a passing interest in the Oregon based company has turned into somewhat of an obsession! They are incredible. Most wooden bikes that i've seen look like some lumber thrown together in the shape of a bike. One of the beauties…
Delving into the world of single-speed bikes. We are unraveling the allure behind their simplicity and efficiency together.
“Show bikes” are always tough. As a builder, you often get invited to show off some company’s new products on a carefully built frame. It is an opportunity to be seen with the latest and greatest, but also an opportunity to show off as a builder, what you have to offer. You’ve likely seen myself and

I would call this bike "custom" but that seems to imply the frame itself was fabricated, tailored to Zoe's dimensions. Truth be told, the frame is the least custom component in this bike. Rather, it's a classic example of the branches overtaking the trunk, so to speak. This Shifter Bikes creation was polished, machined, bent and carved in all the right places. From the hardware, to the componentry, each piece was selected and shaped to fit Dan and Zoe's particular aesthetic approach. Top it all off with custom Busyman kangaroo leather goods, this bike is toting some crafty, yet minimal detailing. Check out…

So now that we've seen what Ruckus' shop looks like, how about a look at one of the frames that Shawn from Ruckus has built. This is his own single speed cross bike, laced with a rather healthy component group, a sick paint job and some of those Ruckus vibes. I love the tag line on the downtube, the painted ENVE components and the cross bash guard. You don't see a whole lotta flat bar monster cross bikes but when you do, they're drool-worthy.

Today, we share an especially unique build. A road bike, stripped of its gears and derailleurs for single speed journeys, with the ability to flip to fixed for days on the track. A custom carbon frame built our Italian friends at Sarto, ready to be ridden in the rolling hills of Northern California. This bike was based around Sarto's Dinamica model, their stiffest, most responsive offering. Being that every bike is built custom, it was no problem adapting as a single speed. Horizontal track drops, a beefier bottom bracket shell, and fastback stays to give it a unique touch. The wheels are a custom set of Enve 4.5s. Stiff and aero, but not too deep to be unmanageable in the Bay Area wind. We laced up the rims to a set of Phil Wood track hubs in glossy black. Finishing them off are Continental GP 5000 tires. Possibly the most simple drivetrain we've ever done, but by no means is it boring. The rear wheel gets both a Phil Wood track cog and a White Industries freewheel, for quick changes between riding fixed or free. The cranks are Sugino 75s, but not the classic square-taper versions of yesteryear. The newer Direct Drive model has an oversized, splined spindle, increasing stiffness and dropping weight. A 48t Sugino Zen chainring is bolted to the 144 bcd arms. Feet connect to a set of track specific Speedplay pedals. Single sided entry, with a low profile aero reverse side, providing maximum ground clearance when riding fixed. Completing the package is a gold Izumi track chain. While much of the bike is track inspired, it was built to be ridden on the open road, so like a road bike, it's got brakes. In this case, EE calipers actuated by TRP levers. The cockpit is full Fizik. A custom Busyman wrapped Antares saddle matches the bike's custom paint. At the front, a Fizik R1 stem and a carbon bar, wrapped in classic Microtex, provide the steering control. There's something deeply satisfying about building up a single speed/track bike. It's always a treat getting to source parts we don't normally use, and see them come to life in the form of a bike as stunning as this.
