All-City Nature Cross Single 700c Frameset

I gotta have more cowbell!

The cowbell’s clanging, splashes of mud, the squeal of your brakes, and the spectators cheering are all key elements of a perfect cyclocross race. We’re all fans of geared cyclocross bikes, but there’s something so quintessential about racing cyclocross on a single speed bike. All-City’s Nature Cross single speed frameset is the ideal platform for anyone in search of single speed shenanigans. Its air-hardened A.C.E. Steel tubing is designed to be able to take a hit while still offering that oh so sweet ride quality that only steel offers. A PF30 bottom bracket shell allows you to use an eccentric bottom bracket to properly tension the drivetrain. Up front you’ll find a lightweight full carbon Columbus Futura Cross fork, which not only lightens up the front end but it also helps to dampen vibrations. In cyclocross racing, proper geometry can be the difference maker between you railing an off camber turn or ending up in the mud before you even enter the turn. Fortunately, All-City went with tried and true modern cyclocross geometry designed to handle today’s technical courses. The Nature Cross geometry also makes the bike agile and nimble, perfect for ripping through your local mild singletrack. When racing a single speed cross bike you have to strategically choose your gear, be prepared to either grind it out or dismount and run, making single speed a unique challenge that isn’t for the faint of heart. We should also mention how convenient it is to not have to worry about dropped chains, bent derailleur hangers, or worn out cassettes. On top of that, the lack of adjusting derailleurs makes the single speed life even more enticing. All we can say is go grab yourself a Nature Cross frameset, some jean shorts, a flannel shirt and get ready to send it.
