Selma

If ‘singlespeed’ and ‘lightweight’ are at the top of your wish list, it’s time you meet Selma, our dedicated singlespeed 29’er race frame.

Crafted from custom-drawn scandium alloy tubing with carbon seatstays, the frame features a Bushnell eccentric bottom bracket for simple chain tensioning, quick-release rear wheel removal, and sure-thing disc brake alignment.

Because singlespeeding is all about maintaining momentum, Selma’s low weight helps out while climbing and boosts flickability in the tight stuff. The big 29’er hoops roll over roots and rocks with ease, smoothing the trail.

Since you’re the engine of this one speed machine, we decided we should do all we could to help. Our specially shaped scandium alloy chainstays and carbon seatstays minimize lateral flex. This stiffens the bottom bracket area and rear triangle, and maximizes the efficiency of each pedal stroke.

While providing an efficient drivetrain, the chainstays and seatstays also soak up trail vibration without completely deadening the feel of the ground. That subtle damping means you, and your back, feel fresher going into that last lap.

Selma. One love.
