The SINGLEBE CAMO PLUS is a full rigid mountain bikes produce by the Czech handcrafter Tomas owner of the brand SingleBe. This bike has the particularity to be either mount with 650b+ wheelset than 29" wheelset. I am sure you have noticed the really distinct paint...a camouflage made of 4 colors...but also include custom painting for crankset, stem, fork and a bottom headset cup. A unique piece of art really different from what we are used to see. If you are pissed of with mono-black paint...this could be your machine !
The SINGLEBE CAMO PLUS is made of Reynolds 853 for the front triangle, a reliable and strong set of steel tubes mainly dedicated to MTB and hardcore riders, and Cromo4130 for the seatstays and chainstays. The frame is TIG welded. It is disk only and boost ready meaning it accepts rear wheel with 148x12 thru axle (delivered with the bikes). It has an internal cable routing for the rear brake and the rear derailleur. The seatpost diameter is 31.6mm and the frame features an internal cable routing if you plan (advised on this unruly bike) to set up a adjustable dropper post.
About geometry, the CAMO PLUS (19" frame size) is designed to go fast and stay stable with a long wheelbase of 1137mm and a slack headtube angle of 68 degrees to keep the handling predictable at high speed. In the same idea, the top tube is long but the bike is set up with a short stem to compensate and have a bike fun to ride. Of course to keep the kickass - punchy side of the bike, chainstays are short....425mm for a bike that can be mounted with tires in 27.5×2.8 up to 3.0 or 29"... The frame has an asymmetric chainstays-bridge....and a specific right chainstay ending with a small section of flat steel tube where the tires ends to allow enough clearance for the chainring. Take a look at the pictures below that shows well the design.
The paint "camouflage" is done from 4 different tints : black, dark grey, light grey and a flashy orange. those kind of work art are not really common. It gives to the frame a nice and dynamic touch and spirit to the bike. But if you thought that only the frame was custom paint...you are wrong. The SingleBe team has also personalized the Shimano Deore crank, the Spank stemp, the carbon rigid fork and the bottom headseat cup : all is in the details !
About the drivetrain and brakes, the SINGLEBE CAMO PLUS is set up with Shimano SLX disk brakes with 160mm rotor, Shimano SLX rear derailleur and a 10s Shimano SLX 11-36 cassette. The unique shifter is a Shimano Zee and the crankset is a Shimano Deore Camo edition, 175 mm with an Absolute Black 32T chainring. Other components are Ritchey Comp Carbon 31.6 seatpost, a Spank Spike 35 mm stem. The wheelset is unbranded with 38mm wide rims, 100x15 disk front hub and 148x12 disk boost rear hub. The bikes weight 11,8kgs without pedals.
