FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

As of the 21st of April, Solitude Cycles has decided to limit its offering of custom frames to singlespeeds and 29″ / 700c wheels.

The first year of trading has been a steep learning curve and it has caused the business to evolve at a great rate, so we have decided to limit ourselves to what we do best: one gear, big wheels and fillet brazed steel.

Frames can be built with stainless steel trackends, Paragon sliding drop outs or a drilled out Phil Wood Eccentric Bottom Bracket (the last two options allowing disc brakes to be used) and all the normal Solitude features: full custom design, hand picked tubes, stainless anti-cable-rub strips, 200+ powder coat colours and all the fittings you could want included in the price.

29er suspension forks are available at time of purchase from White Bothers as well as the full range of Phil Wood hubs and bottom brackets. For riders looking for rigid forks Solitude recommends On-One cro-mo or carbon 29er forks. Complete builds are available through the Solitude Cycles approved LBS, John Atkins Cycles.
