David Singlespeed Unrau

I got this bike together a week ago, but haven’t had time to post some pictures. Adam’s new True North Cycles mountain bike is a custom True Temper OX Platinum steel 29er. Like most of our cross country racers, Adam is set up with a Pace RC-31 rigid fork on the bike:

The 26 inch fork makes a perfect 29er fork for a custom frame, as we tailor the head angle to give aggressive handling with the shorter, lighter fork. Adam’s fork is also dusted with a Kandy red clearcoat to match his blood red paint scheme.

Adam’s bike is built up with a full XT build kit with hydraulic disks. However, Adam had an eccentric bottom bracket shell installed so he can easily run the bike as a singlespeed in the future.  The paint on Adam’s bike is a rich blood red created by putting Kandy red clearcoat over a pearl white base.  The rear of the bike fades to black.  Adam races Elite and will be at most of the Ontario Cup races – check out his bike, it’s hard to miss!

Finally got some pictures of my custom carbon True North Cycles road bike posted. They are on the Prototype Full Carbon Road Bike page.

Beautiful weather today. It was sunny, around 20 and with a bit of wind out of the south east. Adam and I headed out for a road ride fro Campbelleville. We ended up doing around 115km in 4 hours. Here is the route:

I was riding my custom carbon True North Cycles road bike. I just love this bike. For how responsive it feels, I’m amazed at how comfortable it is on long rides.
