Gunnar Ruffian Single Speed 29er
853/OX Platinum steel 1x1spd
The Gunnar Ruffian is your ticket to single-speed paradise. A single-speed mountain bike is a joy to ride because it relieves your mind from shifting, so you can just enjoy the ride. Single-speeding is pure and simple. Its about getting back to the basics, and doing those things well. It is all about keeping your momentum and learning to 'flow.' Its about crunching through rock gardens without worrying about mashing your derailleur. Its about light-weight mechanical simplicity, and it is beautiful. It is especially beautiful whenever you are riding a buttery smooth steel frame handcrafted by one the best frame makers in the business, Gunnar Cycles.
The Ruffian we have here is very nicely spec'd without going over the top. Highlights include: A hand-built wheel-set on Paul hubs, with a White Industries freewheel - single speeding in style. Chain stays on this frame measure 17.75" in its current position(sliding dropouts). The effective top tube measures approx. 27" w/100mm stem.
