A Certain customer of IBC just had a brand new Ti Spectrum built up. He had us cannibalize the Shimano Dura Ace parts from his Calfee Luna Pro, leaving it bare and unrideable. Lucky for him he was in possession of a White Industries Eric's Eccentric Eno Hub.
This is just the thing to convert ANY bike into a Single Speed or Fixed Gear. The Eno boasts an elliptical axle, allowing it to be rotated in the drop outs, thereby tensioning the chain. It is a very cool and useful piece of equipment. The version pictured here is a 130mm spaced flip/flop. Meaning it can be used with a freewheel or set up as a fixed gear. The hub is also available in a 135mm Disk Version.
The brake levers are gutted Campagnolo Record shift levers. They now function as brake levers only. They are very ergonomic and very light. Not too bad looking either.
Of the recent builds we have done here at IBC, this is my favorite. The end result was unique, clean, and cool.
It tips the scales at just over fifteen pounds without even trying, this is going to be a fun bike to ride.
