Everything arrived on Friday as planned, many thanks to neighbour Dave who lent a hand getting everything unloaded. So for the mean time all available storage space is filled and more, though everything starts shipping out today. This means we have good stoock of all current frames and all of our dealers are getting re-stocked as well.

A few Pegasus orders are already in, the order period will be closing in the first week of December, so better get a deposit down soon if you want one.

We are due to see a container load of frames arriving here tomorrow morning. We will be sorting, prepping and shipping as fast as we can. All those with pre-orders in should see their frame next week at some point. Marty has also collected his Gryphons in the US now, so North American customers can also get their hands on these much awaited frames.

The big boat has landed and all being well with the good people at HMRC we will see around 300 frames arrive at Singular HQ next week. Many people are waiting on frames from this batch though so I expect they will go quite quickly. Get them while you can!

The Pegasus prototypes have arrived and they look really fantastic, not to mention being beautiful to ride as well. They will be made to order with a degree of customisation according to your wishes; pure singlespeed, straight up geared, or a bit of both. The proto frames are the 'bit of both' with an eccentric bottom bracket (reduced size Phil Wood half link eccentric) as well as full gear cable routing. The order page with more details and pictures is here.

The rain we're having is good for one thing at least (apart from the garden) 'cross bikes. Here are a few pics from during the annual Chilicross run - Cross bikes in the Chilterns followed by chili - this year a fantastic chicken mole as well.

Well, Swifts and Gryphons are not quite going to be here this month as promised, but they will be early November. They have now left Taiwan's sunny shores and are on their way. Good news is that they are joined by a flock of Peregrines. So as of next month we will have all current models in stock.

Other exciting news is that I have begun to work with Nevi in Italy to produce the Pegasus Titanium frames. I expect first samples within the next week and will then take pre-orders over the course of November for delivery in January 2010. I recently visited their factory north of Milan and was hugely impressed by the quality of both their production techniques and finished product. They use a sealed argon filled chamber in which they weld frames to ensure complete weld penetration with zero contamination. This method is common in aerospace but I am not aware of any other cycle manufacturers which do it. The frames will carry a full lifetime warranty.  Though they will be in three standard sizes as per the Swift geometry, customers will have the choice of ebb or standard bb shell, and of cable guide type. Price is yet to be finalised but probably around £1500.

Other excitement in these parts has been thanks to the arrival of the protoypes for our Singular Kite cyclocross race bike. Lightweight steel, canti brakes only and singlespeedable thanks to short horizontal dropouts. Production frames (and indeed some of the samples) have downtube threaded cable stops (not bosses) and a derailleur cable stop. Feedback so far has been very positive and we hope to have these in stock some time in the middle of 2010. Drop me a line to join the mailing list.
