Even the best bikes in the world can’t inspire me when every grinding pedal stroke costs a penny in parts, still coffee was had and another epic seven miles were conquered #singularperegrinemk3 #randonneurbike #grassupthemiddle #muddylaneconnoisseur #wizardworks
Achievement unlocked, bikes on boats, mini epic dirt and singletrack ride today, started in the rain, ended in the sunshine ……longest ride of the year for me, just over forty miles, and only a few of those on roads, found some fabulous nettle lined singletrack and even a short ferry ride, tired and weary but very happy to have done that #grassupthemiddle #singularperegrinemk3 #betablockerssuck
It’s almost five years old now, a pre production Peregrine, not much changed for the production version (a slightly taller headtube, more tyre clearance and flat mount for the fork) and this build is the same as it was first built apart from a switch to some swept back Ramble bars to suit my ageing arthritic neck, its firmly now my house on fire bike, always my first choice
The next generation of Peregrines are almost fledged and ready to fly, minor changes and now British racing green instead of the classic Singular blue, I might have to get one just so I can leave this one with its mudguards intact !
The question is, does it get silver or black components ?

its funny that I often forget that where I live is really rather nice at times, day dreaming about beautiful lands far away can divert your attention from whats right in front of you #grassupthemiddle #singularperegrinemk3
when Sam and I were discusing the possibilities if an XXL Peregrine I initially wanted it to be made of nice steel tubing, that proved to be a bit too expensive to go with, he suggested Titanium as he has great faith in his fabricator, I was a little unsure, my history with Ti frames wasn’t great
However I was happy to trust Sam completely, and he was proven to be right, this Ti Peregrine rides just as nicely as my steel prototype but fulfils my tall aesthetic ideas completely, particularly now its built with bigger tyres and no mudguards as I originally envisaged it
And, the steel fork complements the frame really well, I’ve no desire to change it to carbon or Ti
many thanks to Sam for having the fortitude to bring Singular back into the fray and being a damn good bike designer 😊

theres about 150 miles on this bike now, 10 rides around my local trails, flat wet and muddy
my position seems to be more or less where it should be, the only major change being to a shorter 90mm stem, everything is as built, the numbers coming straight off the steel Mk3 Peregrine
Ride wise its pretty similiar to the steel version, actually a bit lighter despite the bigger frame, the steel mid trail fork feels just right with a bag upfront, will be interesting to see how it fares with some small panniers installed on an upcoming tour
the build as always with Singulars was straightforward, tried and trusted components complimented by a new set of growtac brakes (which by the way feel as good if not better than Pauls Klampers) plenty of room for 55mm tyres and mudguards, boost and bolt through Hope hubs and the ever faithful gravel kings
For all you tall lanky folks this is worth your consideration, theres no reason this couldnt be painted the same as the steel Peregrine, only the lack of lugs would give the game away 😉
I think this ones a keeper thanks Sam

another productive afternoon swapping bars, this time cowchippers out for @simworksusa rambler bar, totally transformed the #singularperegrinemk3 into a country rambler

Achievement unlocked, bikes on boats, mini epic dirt and singletrack ride today, started in the rain, ended in the sunshine ……longest ride of the year for me, just over forty miles, and only a few of those on roads, found some fabulous nettle lined singletrack and even a short ferry ride, tired and weary but very happy to have done that #grassupthemiddle #singularperegrinemk3 #betablockerssuck

after twelve months in storage the titanium Peregrine has emerged blinking into the daylight, a few tweaks and a bit of oil on the chain and we are good to go @singularcycles #singularperegrinemk3 #grassupthemiddle
After my earlier note to self post I managed to get my legs moving for an epic seven miles, tea and a sausage roll from the mighty @riverbankcoffee and lots of sunshine and chatter with random folk who were also enjoying this lovely weather #singularperegrinemk3 #grassupthemiddle

yesterday has taken its toll ! empty legs recovery ride to coffee was enough for today #singularperegrinemk3 and then later seeking shade, a few hours tweaking the Jones then out for a short shake down ride, it’s 28c out there now, seems like the weather gods are really taking the piss now after such a lame summer

despite now having a titanium version I still love riding this steel prototype Peregrine, so glad that Sam got these bikes back up and running and has received the accolades that were honestly due to him as he was well ahead of the game back in 2006 when the oringinal Peregrine was first released #singularperegrinemk3
maiden voyage down the street and back, seems fine ….

a satisfying morning tinkering and fitting new tyres to the Peregrine ready for the weekend, hope I’ve not jinxed the weather by taking off the mudguards! #singularperegrinemk3 #grassupthemiddle
Time to reflect, the move to slow riding is almost completed, flat pedals, front basket, sweptback bars and plaid shirt all have their place, carrying a camera and binoculars gives variety to the ride and yet another reason to stop and sample the local benches, and theres always time to enjoy a brew ! #singularperegrinemk3 #grassupthemiddle #wizardworks

after many months of neglect the original #singularperegrinemk3 has emerged blinking and squinting from the cellar, a few pumps of air into the tyres and a drizzle of oil onto the chain and it’s good to go again, ready for a #grassupthemiddle Sunday Service
