Teesdale single speed 29er frameset info

This is a new Tom Teesdale frame from West Branch Iowa. Less than 2 miles of ride time. I have toooo many bikes. Too many single speeds that is. The frame, fork, headset and seat clamp total $1400.00 I would like to get $1100 OBO.

The frame is about a size large. Custom in the geometry but rather normal numbers as far as angles go. The tubes are all True Temper OX Gold double butted steel. Stainless steel Paragon Sliding dropouts. I am 5'11" and the bike fits me well and would easily fit someone smaller or larger. I would say anyone between 5'9" to 6'2" could be quite comfortable with this. I wanted a frame with a longer top tube but still wanted quite a bit of standover height and it works well for someone with shorter legs too.

Here are some other spec:

*Top Tube length horizontal is 24.5 inches.
*Standover height 30in.
*Head tube length is 110mm. (1 1/8 in diameter).
*Seat tube is 18.5 in from center of bottom bracket to center of top tube (27.2 mm diameter).
*Bottom bracket height is 11.75 inches.
*Head angle is 71 degrees.
*Seat angle is 73 degrees.
*Chainstay length can be adjusted with a range of 17.25 inches out to 18.25 inches.
*Bottom bracket shell is 68mm.
*Frame is suspension corrected so you could run an 80mm travel front shock.
*Fork is an Origin 8 Black Ops carbon Custom painted to match the frame (470mm axle to crown length) disc only.
*Cane Creek S3 headset (sealed cartridge bearing).
*Salsa Lip Lock seat clamp (30.0mm)

There may be other details that I cannot remember so if you have any questions please call me 319-415-6302.

Thanks! Rob Walters

Weekend Hike!





Here are some pictures of the little hike me and the girls went on Sunday. We are also collecting rocks from the playground in the yard. The variety of rocks amazed us. One handful can produce so many different colors and textures. God's creation is awesome! All of this in our own yard. The girls don't fully understand how big the world is yet but someday they will. Then, they will be even more amazed. I think we spent an hour laying on the pea gravel covered ground. Just digging and looking.

Good times! Better than riding my bike. Speaking of bikes.....I am building one up this week so stay tuned to 29inches for details and pics. It is pretty cool. Not my long awaited Selma but still pretty cool.

when will the busy end.........




Last weekend Pam was able to get away for the weekend for some girl time. Her and her cousins, aunt and mother headed down to Iowa City for the weekend. they bargain shopped till they dropped. So, that left Mr. Mom in charge for three whole days. The girls and I didn't do anything crazy. Just had a good time hanging out. I was able to step out for a two hour ride on Saturday while the girls were off to swim lessons. A friend who takes their child offered to take mine for me. Cool! So I headed over to Sweets Marsh. The trails are finally drying up and it was a nice time. Had mix of gravel, pavement and double track.

I am hoping to get out Wed night with Cuz and Craig. We'll see what the weather does. Should be a good time though. We will all three be on single speed 29ers.

Have a great day!

So busy at work these days.......


You guys ever get so busy at work that you almost hate looking at the computer at home? I am there this week. Well, actually I was there last week too. Hopefully next will bring me a break from my workload at the office and my blog will reflect it. I can't wait for some unique and inspiring thoughts to spill out of me. Bare with me this week on the boring posts. I am out of town on Thursday and may not have time for a Photoshop Friday but I will try. Might not be home until really late Thursday night.

Ok, enough of my crying about how busy I am and get back to complaining about the weather! Ha!

If you know anyone interested in a cheap single speed mountain bike have them get a hold of me. It will be ugly but in good working order. Size will be for about a 6 foot tall person. Should have it complete in about a week.

busy weekend..........

It was a pretty busy weekend. We had a visit from my mom and stepdad on Friday night. Spent some time at Veno's pizza place in Tripoli. It was a nice time. Some of the best pizza in Iowa too.

Saturday, my dad came home from WI to celebrate his 59 birthday. Happy Birthday Dad! It's was nice to spend some time with you.

Sunday, we headed over to West Union to visit the in-laws. They just returned from a two week vacation so it was nice to have them home. The girls were happy to have them home , especially for the cartoon network and the Disney channel. We don't have cable at home. Also, while in West Union, we decided to have Madee hone her downhilling skills. As you can see her first attempt was not quite as good as her second.

I think the girls had grandparent overload and are still recovering. :-)

In other family news: Happy Birthday Cuz! Hope you had a nice weekend. Wish I could have hung out with ya.
