Bikes We Ride - Nick's Singular Gryphon Ti
Ambassador Nick Belkowski (@PedalingSomewhere) gets in more miles in wild places every year than most people dream of in a lifetime. After years splitting his adventure time between his full suspension mountain bike and race-bread gravel bike, he found himself longing for something in the between. Welcome the Singular Gryphon Ti.

This sprightly ti frame and fork were custom drawn and designed by our friend Sam at Singular Cycles specifically for the sort of deep backcountry all-terrain experiences Nick loves. With drop bars, clearance for 2.6 tires and a full mechanical build (that's right, no batteries to charge or hydraulic hoses to bleed!) it is designed from the ground up for self-sufficient outback excursions.
Be prepared to find Nick and this lusty steed popping up where you least expect them. From Fernie, British Columbia to Oaxaca, Mexico, Columbia's steepest washes to the Peruvian Divide, these two are going places. For now, feast your eyes on this stunning build and scroll on for the full build, below.
