Thanks to Reven for the picture - this is her 2005 vintage WW (so, somewhere in the first 30 or so frames I built, though I'm not sure exactly what number), being ridden this weekend at Steele Creek Park in TN. I'm about to build her an "update" of the same basic setup - it's interesting to see how much the way I build things has changed over the years, along with the overall evolution of 29" bikes. By my current standards, this bike has really long (for a singlespeed) chainstays at 44cm, a very short/steep front end (71.5 HTA and 38mm rake), no seat tube sleeve, and tiny tubes (31.8mm downtube on a 29er?) that are probably underbuilt for the punishment that Reven deals out (I was such a weight weenie...) Tire clearance kinda sucks too, so that will improve as well.

I like that front fork. Is that chromed or what?
That ride has seen single-track adventures... in 12 states. Lots of traveling.
