![]() ![]() ![]() My inseam on all the pants I buy is 30"I used to buy 32" but they were too baggy. I will be sure to post pics.Thanks Again !!! Hopefully I will get back there this week to order. I know SS will not be easy at first, but after awhile, I am sure I will be okay. That was refreshing to know since others have tried to talk me out of SS. The young man also told me that they have sold 2 Monocogs that he knows of and there is a guy that rides all the local trails and he is able to ride just fine with all the other $5K bikes on his SS Monocog. They have a Monocog Flight there that is on layaway, so I was glad I was able to see one in person instead of looking in a catalog and buying one. I dont wanna risk injuring the boys.Though with the 29" wheels, that would change frame size a little I am thinking. I stood over the frame and I was able to lift the front wheel up about 2", so I was told that is the size I need. I am 6ft, 250 and thought I would need a larger size. I was surprised to find I will need a 17" frame. I can swap out the stock 2.1 tires if I want and have them install 2.3 which I would prefer for a small fee which I will have to ask about when I order it. So in the end, if I wanted to get a new seat and disc brakes, I basically have a Flight. The Flight has a better seat and disc brakes, those 2 upgrades alone are $200 after looking at the prices at the LBS. The only difference frame wise is that the regular monocog has the posts for the v brakes. The Flight now has a steel frame plus it can always be upgraded to gears if I should ever choose to, which I doubt, but its there. I think the Monocog is better built though it seems. The only one that is cheaper is the GT Peace 9R for $750. Its more than I wanted to spend, but compared to several other single speeds, its one of the better values. I think I am going to go with the Redline Monocog Flight for $800. I want to thank everyone for all the info, it is greatly appreciated and was extremely helpful.
