Singular Peregrine
[Image: 3143553759_d7113c0b40_b.jpg]

Totally fallen in love with this bike. Desperately want it, desperately need it. But really expensive to convert to fixed gear and my urban needs. Need new disc wheelset and eccentric rear hub, disc brake and eccentric BB. Is it worth my time and money or shall i stick with track frames?

RE: Singular Peregrine
i think slicks look cooler when swirling through the traffic so yea, stick with track frames Big Grin the handle bar doesn't look appealing ANYWAYZ Tongue

RE: Singular Peregrine
Ride & handling: ready for anything
The ride is on the sure-footed side – not as fast steering as, say, a Surly Cross-Check. Still, its handling manners felt superb on long road rides, particularly with a load – where its stability proved a real bonus. Off-road, it took a few rides to get used to, but then felt confident and comfortable over long distances.
Versatility is key here, with an eccentric bottom bracket for using as a singlespeed or with a hub gear. Particularly clever is the discreetly placed cable stop under the bottom bracket, preventing excess clutter if you do forgo the front mech. Likewise, open-side cable guides mean you can quickly remove the drivetrain to run as a singlespeed. With mudguards there’s some toe overlap, but nothing to worry about.
And we loved that versatility. Shod with Schwalbe’s fast rolling Marathon Supremes it felt ideal for lightweight tours, with a real turn of speed. But when these were swapped for Bontrager’s trail-friendly 1.8in Jones XR tyres the Peregrine turned into a rough rider’s dream. Its large diameter wheels, fat tyres and forgiving chromoly frame roll easily over obstacles – the frame will even take a 2in tyre.
