I got to speak with Justin of Silent Cycles at the 2015 North American Handmade Bicycle Show about his custom 29er on display. This bike was designed for a client in Chattanooga, TN. The client is a single speed only rider that rides often. Justin built the frame with a medium weight tubeset and used mostly American made parts for the build. The fork and handlebars are custom painted Enve parts. The drivetrain was set up to be microdrive for better ground clearance.
