I recently decided to swap out the cheap bits from my No Logo SS keeping the frame and fork (yes they are heavy but super comfy)
Anyway here is the new and improved version:
Full spec:
Frame: No Logo Steel frame and fork
Wheels: Singelspeed Components / Shunfeng flip flop wheelset UPGRADE
Freewheel: 16t Dicta Freewheel UPGRADE
Chainset: Prolite 46t Sardina Shadow Chrome UPGRADE
Tyres: Panaracer Pasela PT 25c UPGRADE
Seat: Plush XSR1 UPGRADE
Bars: Onza Alloy 40cm Drop Bar with Karbonite tape
Brake Levers: Tektro Aero Drop Levers
Brakes: Shimano Sora front UPGRADE / Stock rear
Pads: Clarks 'V' Pads UPGRADE
Pedals: Shimano MTB SPD white
The above has knocked 3KG off (2kg from the wheels) so its now 9KG, total outlay including original purchase price is about £400.
She is super fast / smooth and very practical and almost maintenance free. the 46x16 gearing is perfect for my daily commute and some of my favourite rides around Nottingham at the weekend. I tend to stick to flat-ish sub 30 miles so 1 gear is fine.
