Seems like most the singlespeed threads are old on here. I'm trying to put together an mtb I can run single speed or geared (once my knees start hurting

Additionally, I've seen a lot of recommendations for Carbonda, but they don't have a Hardtail listed?

they do have some if you email directly. SP cycle also have a super light HT frame at 780g I think

The SP Cycle one looks cool and I was ready to pull the trigger except for one review where someone cracked it in the first month of riding. I will email Carbonda. Is there a better email than the general sales email? Thought I saw one...

I am using the light carbon 914 frame with a 2 idler style chain tensioner.  Seems to work really and is super light.  Xt brakes and crank put it at 17.7lbs.  Rigid fork and some lightweight wheels help a lot.
