Hi, all: This was a fun experiment but ultimately I have gone in a different direction. I got these secondhand. The stem is in very nice condition but the bars have a few scratches around the exposed clamp area. Both are 26.0. How does $80 plus shipping sound? If anyone is interested in so

Use a Surly or Paul chain tensioner/singleator with spacers and a cog and you're all set on the Sam for singlespeed. Unless you want fixed, when you'll need the ENO, horizontal dropouts or the magic gear. I wouldn't operate on the Simpleone--use it as designed. Ryan On Monday, January 7, 2013
