Have you seen “SPECIAL CONTENTS” on BLUE LUG’s website? I strongly recommend you to check that because there are lots of event reports we participated as well as interviews we did with many bike brands and makers.<\/p>\n

Today, I’d like to talk about Singular Cycles, one of the features we recently added on the Special Contents.<\/p>\n

Singular Cycles is a British brand born in 2006, it was when I started to work at a bicycle shop. Their MTB bike featuring 29er tires left me an impression since I was into track bikes as many other people were too. Actually “Single speed MTB” was cultic back then and in fact lots of brands made their 29ers. (Btw, I used to ride Salsa’s El Mariachi and HARO’s Mary 29er SS<\/a> designed by BMC’s Mike was popular back then)<\/p>\n

Among them, Singular Cycles was distinctive because of their classic design. While I was working at the shop I couldn’t have a chance to see a Singular but after the years as I’m working at Blue Lug, we started to sell them.<\/p>\n

We started with their Randonneur “PEREGRINE<\/a>” and then dirt drop bike “GRYPHON<\/a>” as our line up. (Watch this YT video<\/a> features the GRYPHON too)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although I have been building their bikes as a mechanic, I still didn’t know about their history and I wanted to know it, so I got a little help from our global and web team to interview Sam, the founder of Singular Cycles.<\/p>\n

Interview with SINGULAR’s Sam Alison<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It was good to know his roots and relation with track bikes, also it was interesting to hear about golf from him. I don’t play golf but what he says here makes sense actually. Please read the interview not only if you are interested in Singular but also because it’s a good read to know him as a cyclist and a brand owner.<\/p>\n

Thank you for taking the interview with us, Sam-san!<\/p>\n
