No single speed lives here anymore. Unless I throw one together on the concorde?

Sure I'll build a ringlespeed for raturday...
I seriously thought you guys had Concorde PDMs like this, they look the bombs.

Maybe I ride the Verty this Raturday as a single, lemme see 53/17 or 53/18, the Dolan is 51/17, 53/18 is pretty close. Want me to cable tie the shifters ?

Also noticed the 4130 CroMo sticker just below the seat clamp, that confirmed a suspicion.
Might have to bookmark it, see if it sells or not, I actually have a sister in law who lives in Adelaide, maybe I should buy it & have a pair.

i think if the seller actually punched himself in the face when he took the pic, it would have been less shakey.
