I forgot to mention that this frame size has 650b wheels. It is currently shown with size 50-584 (aka 27.5 x 2.00) tires but it has plenty of space for a larger tire. The tire size as shown is limited by the Axa frame lock, which is convenient but not necessary and can be removed. On Wednesday

I’m not an expert, but I believe that most/all of the bikes from the Alex Singer shop were made with 531. My two Singers are. One is made of the more unusual “531 Professional” tubeset, which featured thinner walls for lighter weight than standard 531 tubing. 531 Professional is rumored to be
