Nice build! I also ride a steel frame single speed, with flat bars. I rode bmx when I was younger, so have always been used to having only one gear. I just love the simplicity and look of single speed and fixed gear bikes. When I was a kid, spending hours staring at bicycle catalogs, I saw a fixed gear track bike and totally fell in love. I enjoy running my bike as fixed sometimes, but as much as I love the brakeless look, I enjoy the function of them even more.
Thanks for tuning in! There’s a handful of them around Ottawa! My partner had one for a brief period of time too, such a fun bike. Thanks for the kind words! Happy riding
@@corndogginit love the flash basil colorway! I wanted one back when it came out but only pulled the trigger when I learned AC was done. Long live AC indeed! ✊❤️
Man I have to say I am really impressed with the production of these videos. As a working freelance video-editor and fellow bike-nerd, I really appreciate the work you've put in the production. You clearly have a vision for where you want the channel to go and I can't wait to see where it takes you. Also, the fit-and-finish to the editing is all really well done too.
@@yugenfocus wow, thanks so much for the kind words! I put a lot of work into this video and am fairly new to videography so that really means a lot. I’d love to do freelance video editing work and right now this is all done out of pure love for bikes, art/visuals, and video making. Thanks for watching and dropping a note!
I got a Marin DSX2 (a flat bar gravel bike) this year to start taking advantage of the paths around Ottawa. It fits into my life perfectly since I wanted a bike to just cruise around on and also be capable of some off-road fun (I'm not about the Gat loop life). Super stoked I found this channel!
The editing of your videos is so good! you deserve more subscribers lol. I ride a fixed gear with big tires and big riser bars, but it's garbage compared, so I'm very jealous lol night jade is beautiful
Thanks for the kind words! We kind of just started to take TH-cam seriously this year so, I hope more folks subscribe if they like the channel! Thanks for checking it out :) Fixed is so fun, happy riding!
I’ve got a Super Pro and love it for the city. Commuting. Errands. Groceries. Occasionally getting off the pavement. Mine has gears. And I’m running Panaracer GravelKing SK’s at 700x43 tubeless for some squish and comfort. Love this bike. Mine’s called Pony Boy. Even done some light single track. But the city is where it shines. Oh, and I’m rockin some salsa bend bars (the ones w more sweep) with inner bar ends (for longer rides). Safe riding!
@@ryanjenkins3070 ouu nice! I love those SK’s! I’ve had them on a few bikes as well, great all rounder tires! Rock on, pony boy! Thanks for watching :)
Bikes a ripper! Subtle color scheme is so good. Just recently built up a 80s Shogun single spd with 38c Cavas to rip around my city as well. Think its the perfect combo.
Ottawa represent! Biking is a great way to see the city, I just started biking this summer and I've already been to so many cool spots that I didn't know existed before
@@zacsoldaat754 So happy to hear that! We have a great network of paths that I’m sure you’ve been all over this summer. Happy riding and thanks for watching our channel!
Fun video, cool bike, and great review! I assembled a couple Super Professionals at my job this summer. Good lookin’ bike. According to the more experienced mechanics at the shop, the little nut inside the dropout tensioner can get stripped pretty easily and is a pain to get replaced. When you’re adjusting the chain tension, just make sure everything else is loose and help the wheel back with your hand instead of just relying on the little adjustment screw, and you shouldn’t have any issues.
@@ThriftyFramebuilder thanks for the heads up! I’ve heard the same thing about the sliding dropouts and will keep a close eye on it. Thanks for the kind words also! Cheers
That was really enjoyable to watch and actually got me to convert my old track bike to a ss. Sadly I was never the super skilled fixie foo I was hoping to become.
Recently turned my "Covid Gravel Bike" to a flat bar all-roader. Your All City bikes are making me a little lusty ;) N+1? Hey, also you got a call out on Tim Fitzwater's live stream the other day! Keep up the great content!
@@bobscherrer5981 N+1 is a slippery slope! Haha, but flat bar all rounders are super fun so I have a hard time not saying go for it :) Tim’s the best! We’re fairly new to TH-cam and people like him and yourself make us feel so welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel.
Nice, I love the build. I have one of these that is geared. Had intended to make it single speed but I have been enjoying it geared too much. I love the twitchy handling but for some reason the bike feels slow to me. I don't really care or notice most of the time but I know a few areas where I usually push and go hard I've noticed it's hard to get going as fast. Great bike for just cruising around the city and having a good time while still being able to push it a bit. I love how this one looks with all the silver. Mine is stock black for most of the parts which looks good but doesn't pop like this one.
Interesting! My partner had a super pro for a bit and didn’t get along with it and it was mainly too big. I think the 49 was actually a 52 or something. When I bought mine I took the sizing into account because I worried if that happened it wouldn’t handle how I want but, the 58 is fairly close to most 58’s. How is the fit on yours? And what wheels/tires are you running? Thanks for checking out the video!
👀 luvs me sum AC super pro , bought single during covid , now got new hunts 650;b slloy w/ specialized pathfinder pros w/ sram gx 1x11 components w renthal bars , ooooooooooofffff it takes me where ever it wants to go in Chicago land , in search for the Hollywood violet color w/whisky fork 😊 😋
Ah man 🤤. I have pathfinder pros on my other bike (a gorilla monsoon) and think it’s my fav tire. Those hunts must be so nice on the super pro! Funny you mention the violet too, that was the one I originally wanted but they sold out quick. I’m still happy with the night jade finish though. Happy riding! 🤘
You should check out the Bassi Bloonfield. It is a sturdy frame that fits 650x42 with fenders and 48 without. But you are limited to track wheels with 120 rear spacing. The update version is a nice green colour with canti posts.
@@davidbee9563 I love the Bloomfield! We just did a Bassi shop tour in our most recent video. If the All-City wasn’t on such a big discount I likely would’ve got the Bloomfield to be honest!
@@bike.breath I traded a Soma Pescadera frame for the Bloomfield. It worked great. However, I have another frame that fits the same wheels. So I asked about a trade or buy back. But the new owner has been riding it all summer and loves it. I have a Montreal 650 frame that fits 650x48 with fenders...and 700x35 which is how I have it set up now. And Soma is out of stock of 58cm frames.
@@bike.breath I have an early Marinoni Piuma with Spirit tubing that has spoiled me for the mid level 4130 bikes. I am tempted by a Ritchie Swiss Cross but with new wheels and hydraulic disc brakes it is about double my budget.
Is it the surly single speed kit? Love the bars. And the ss6 and spacers. And the trail riding. I also found those cables with the ss6 a bit flexy. But the ss6 is just so smooth.
Any issues with the rear dropout sliding around or slipping? I've read some people have that issue, but I've also read All-City revised the part. Your frame appears to be the 2023 new color so maybe it's got the new part. I'm interested in the yellow single speed version (I think your bike color normally came with gears). Also, how tall are you? I'm 6'1 and can't decide between the 55 or 58. Thanks from Calgary. James
Hey! I haven’t had any issues with it and I’ve ridden it pretty hard so far! I also read that same concern but haven’t noticed anything. I bought mine as a frame only, I love that yellow one! I’m 6”2 and got the 58. It just fits, if I were you I’d likely go with the size down from 58 because they run big. Cheers!
@@bike.breath Thanks for the reply. Like everything else in my life, I'm right in the middle for sizing. I'm also 6'1 - 6'2 and my best fitting bike was a 59cm Kona Paddy wagon. Looking at the bike insights website, it looks like the 55cm super professional is very similar to the 59cm Kona whereas the 58cm might be too big. Thanks for the reply.
I got the frame 40% off and some of the parts I already had lying around so, it’s a bit all over the place. If you were to buy everything new it would probably be somewhere around 2000 USD, maybe 2500?
I’m really curious about going tubeless but ive never had any issues with them so it seems fruitless. Always surprised to hear when someone does pop a tire. Oh and curious where you order/buy parts from as an someone who also lives in the great government city aha
If your tires are below 42c I personally find tubeless doesn’t make much of a difference. I often ride much bigger tires so, I like it when I’m running something like 30psi or less. Also I think that tube might’ve been faulty haha, I replaced it with another and so far it’s held nicely. A lot of the parts I like to buy aren’t in local shops so the shop I buy the most from is Dismount (Toronto). Also CL Cycle (Montreal). If it is something I can find locally then I always prefer full cycle in Hintonburg! Thanks for tuning into the video! See you around town!
@@bike.breath thanks for the tip! Full cycle looks like they have a pretty good selection but havent bought from them yet. Urbane Cyclist in toronto has gotten a few orders from me though aha And love the videos, man! Maybe ill see that all city flying by one of these days
Yeah! Definitely throw a wave if we cross paths! Full Cycle was pretty mountain bike heavy for a while but lately they’ve brought in some great brands like swift industries bags, white industries components, and more stuff for all kinds of bikes.
Love my Macho King ACE and I am starting to get tired of 28 max tire clearance on my old Cinelli single speed. Very tempted to snag one of these framesets.
@@JD85619 28 would be a wild time on anything but pavement! I see super pro frames available fairly often both in stores and used still! Worth hopping on one 👍
