Singular Cycles is a relatively new UK-based company with a soft spot for 29in wheels. The previously reviewed Swift was an interesting concoction of large wheels, drop bars and classic styling.
For 2010 Singular has been working on two new models, which have been in development for sometime we’re told. First is the Pegasus, a 29in frame based on the Swift with similar geometry but made from titanium. It’s made by Italian based frame builders Nevi and the construction quality is said to be “top notch”.
This will be a limited edition frame and are available to pre-order now. Due to the short production run Singular say there will be a degree of customisation available to customers. Expect to pay £1,500 if you want one, with a £500 deposit securing it. Delivery is slated for February.
Next up is the Gryphon. Taking their fondness for drop bar off-road bikes a step further, the Gryphon is still based on the Swift but has been optimised for drop bar use. This means it’s got a short top tube and taller headtube. Elsewhere it’s familiar to the Swift genes. It’ll cost £420 for the frame and fork and depending on whether you like to swing with gears, singlespeed or hub gears, is compatible with all three.
