Alpine antics on a Single speed, rigid, 29er

Low speed but high adrenaline jinks with a rigid, singlespeed 29er in what I think is a Pyrannean setting. Oliver Dunjic reminds me of what I’d rather be doing almost 100% of the time. Added bonus: Neat bottle opening trick.

Cool video! I enjoyed even though I don’t ride a 29er…or a singlespeed =)
Ahh……a matter of time…..
An inspiring video. I’m a payday or two from a ss 29er and drawn toward either charge or genesis with preference for rigid front fork.
Sounds like a shrewd move. With big tyres (2.5″) I really don’t miss suspension at all (very long stuff would be the exception).
Sounds like a shrewd move to me (this comment is riddled with bias). In terms of the rigid fork, I’m running 2.5″ Nobby Nics which – to a point – compensate for the lack of compensation. I only really notice the absence of suspension on the long or really silly stuff.
The charge cooker ss looks ideal for my generally laid back meandering style of riding and love the simplicity of single speed bikes
Good vid: Nice trail – looks great on a Full susser …
niche within a niche within a niche! How about a Fixed SS 29er as well just for good measure?
might as well wear a crown of thorns for even more of a challenge …..
p.s. I want a 29er …..
Exactly! What on earth was the point of all those gears? (not withstanding climbing, fast descending and comfort).
