Racing team
While much of our emphasis is on riding for the pure enjoyment of it, there is nothing like the crucible of racing to test our products and ourselves to the limit. 2009 was the formative year of the Singular Racing team taking part in events across the UK and around the globe. Here's a rundown of the team, check out the blog for the latest results and upcoming events. |

Steve Webb
The top rider on the Singular team, an Englishman and a gentleman. His quiet, reserved manner belies immense reserves of power and stamina. 2009 was a breakthrough season for Steve, with wins in the Torq in your Sleep 12 hour enduro, Bristol Bikefest enduro and numerous other top placings throughout the season. Steve has mostly been riding a Pegasus singlespeed and rigid, but has been talking about dabbling with some gears for 2010.
Bristol Bikefest 2nd in 12hr solo overall Torq in Your Sleep 12 hour race - 1st overall Dusk 'til Dawn 12 hour night race - 2nd overall |

Sam Alison
An Australian by birth and upbringing, though now living in the UK, Sam is the owner and operator of Singular Cycles so of course has immediate inclusion in the team. Races mostly dirt, with mixed results, not too shabby on a good day! Was over the moon to win the Mayhem SS team category in '09. Mostly rides a singlespeed Gryphon, can also be seen on a Swift at times, and more recently on a new Pegasus. Endeavouring to get in a bit better shape for 2010. |

Dom Perry
Never far behind Steve, he has the deserved apellation of 'Fast Dad'. Dom has had a great season being an integral part of the winning Singular Mountain Mayhem singlespeed team, as well as the second place overall trio at 10 under Kirroughtree. He generally rides a singlespeed Swift but has recently received a geared Kite 'cross proto, on which he was fourth at the 'Muddy Hell' Halloween night 'cross race at Herne Hill, London. |

Grant Taylor
Not the fastest of the bunch, well in fact usually the slowest, Grant is nevertheless a test rider extraordinaire. Before joining the Singular team he owned an incredible string of classic mountain bikes and as such has an innate ability to identify minor tweaks to frame design which make a great difference to our finished products. He was the main driving force behind the development of the Hummingbird and is currently enjoying testing his new Kite. Always cheery and upbeat, he's an invaluable man to have around.

Isaias Job
Singular's representative on the US west coast, Isais rides and races his Swift and now a new Kite in San Francisco and surrounds. Never far off the pace if not at the front, he can also always be relied on for a beer and burrito after the ride. Currently recovering from a nasty crash at SSWC'09, he hopes to be back in shape to take in a final few 'cross races of the season. |

Murphy-Kate Montee
The youngest and most feminine of the Singular gang, MurphyKate is probably also the classiest. With a US National Championship under her belt at the tender age of 16 and domination of her regional races throughout the mid-west she has a bright future ahead of her. She rides a very special custom Gryphon from Reynolds 853 Pro Team tubing - always singlespeed, always drops.

Charles Beal
The newest member of the Singular clan, Charles hails from Connecticut, USA and had some great success in winning the Root 66 Cat 1 Men's 40-49 series Championship inn 2009. He'll be on the singlespeed Swift pictured right for the 2010 season - we hope to get a picture of the man himself shortly!
