brandonecpt: You can get a custom Ridgeline for $2500.

Llama: I don’t know if they could do 2.5 Gordo clearance even for the custom price though…

God, I wish their geo worked for me!!! (argh)

Roofer: Putting gears on a sliding drop out should work fine and eliminate and of the single speed drive train issues. I don’t see enough flex to worry me about ghost shifting, skipping, or the like.

I would buy according to top tube size, whatever your current single speed is, that would be my guide.

Considering The Ridgeline 29 however I see it is available in 2 models, the Ridgeline 29-SL with slider dropouts to accept single speed and geared drivetrain options and the Ridgeline 29-VF with a dedicated geared dropout. I do have a SS now. Any issues on installing derailluer on slider D.O. creaks,miss shifts,etc… opposed to installing derailluer on a fixed hanger? WWYD? Hows the sizing Im 5′8 30″ inseam ?

BB stiffness seems like a pretty crucial aspect for a singlespeed to me…I’d take the extra couple grams to make it not sway and pop.

Llama:

There are no custom options for the Ridgeline, other than finish.

Agreed, looks like a nice ride for the price, I wonder what they would charge to keep all the specs the same, but bump the tire clearance enough for a 2.5 on Gordos?

Sounds like a winner of a bike!
