The frame was purchased off of Ebay over a year ago, and was built up by me as a Single Speed. I have never had gears on this frame. It has went through many parts changes: two suspension forks, a couple of cranks, number of tires, three wheelsets, and two rigid forks. I wanted to get back to riding it rigid so I bought the On One carbon fork. It has no rider weight limit and increased rake so it will quicken up the steering. Carbon fork+38mm wide fat boy proof Kris Holm rims+2.55" wide Weirwolfs= a great rigid ride.
