New Mono9 from Redline

June 4th, 2007 by Tim Grahl

If you haven’t seen it yet, Redline Bicycles is releasing their new 9-speed Mono9. We reported back in April that Redline may be dropping all their 26 inch offerings in favor of bigger wheels and this looks to be a big step in that direction.

I predict that Redline will sell a ton of these bikes. They are already well-known for their original Monocog 29er… the cheapest on the market at the time… and have a big following of budget minded riders. Now they’re offering a bike for people that don’t want to go full on singlespeed. Rock on.

Here’s some specs and pics from their website:

Frame: Flight Double Butted Sanko Chromoly Tubing with fixed rear droputs.
Fork: Sanko Chromoly Taper Legs
Wheel set: WTB laser Disc Rims, Redline SB QR Hubs, Maxxis Ignitor 29 x 2.1 Tires
Drive: FSA Alpha 32T w Alloy Guard, Isis BB Sram X9 Short Cage Derailluer w X9 Trigger 12-32 9speed, PC 951 Chain.
Brake: Avid BB5 w 160mm Rotor.
Control: Ritchey Pro Bar, Stem, and Seat Post, WTB Rocket V SLT Saddle
Color: Warm Mineral Grey
Size: 15,17,19,21

Is there cable stops for a front derailleur?

I would think there would be since the Flight has them.

DP,

its an ‘08 model, not in stores yet, check your local stores, there should also be a Dealer Locator on redlines web site.

Quinn… you mean you haven’t seen the Salsa El Mariachi complete that has been on the market for the past season?

no I didn’t see it, but I’m just bitchin’ about terminology, I was going for the +G until I realized it was 27 speed.

DP, Most IBD’s (which is where you should be buying things from ANYWAY) will have them. SBS is widely used by most bike shops. Let me know where you’re from and I might be able to find out for you.

The bike is available through any SBS dealer and the retail price tag is $999. Very affordable as Redline is known for.

Whoa….retail of 999.00, or 1K for short. Anyone want to buy a used Monocog 29er with about a thousand miles or so on her? Ha ha

Seems like a nice bike for 1K.

Are there any SBS dealers with a website or online sales?
I’m in Canada and would like to buy the Mono9, but no dealers for Redline’s XC bikes here.
Thanks!

i stopped by my friend’s shop (ozone bikes, austin) yesterday and took the monocog 9 out for a spin in the parking lot. unfortunately, i wasn’t dressed for a real ride, but i couldn’t resist. it’s a great looking bike and feels much lighter than i expected it would. it also has a great grey-black metallic paint job — very nice looking. they just got it in last week.
