Singular Peregrine Mk4 Frameset
A classic silhouette for a modern gravel bike - full 29" tyres, the finest steel tubing and all the fittings you need whether touring or commuting.
Classic design - the Peregrine utilises a lugged construction of frame and fork - providing both strength and a classic look.
Slender steel - slim tubing provides not just a classic aesthetic, but gives a supremely smooth ride. The Peregrine is no noodle though, load it up and it feels solid and stable.
Big clearance - with space for up to 29×2.2" (700×55) tyres and full length mudguards.
Eccentricity is good - the Peregrine has an eccentric bottom bracket shell. The primary benefit of this is for tensioning single cog drivetrains - whether fixed gear, singlespeed or an internally geared hub. However it is also really useful for fine tuning the bottom bracket height when using different size wheels and tyres - for instance switching between 700c and 650b wheels.
Keep 'em outside - All cables are routed external to the frame with neat modular cable guides. This makes maintenance and parts-swapping a breeze.
The Peregrine was the second frameset designed under the Singular brand – with the first prototypes landing in May 2007. I’d already been a big proponent of 29” wheels – launching the Swift in ‘06. The concept of the Peregrine was to take the function of those big wheels and put them in a classically styled, lugged construction frame – adding disc brakes and the ability to use current componentry. That brief hasn’t changed in the 18 years which have since passed – bringing with them a whole raft of ‘gravel’ bikes – a wider audience now coming to appreciate the wonders of drop bars and fat tyres for tackling varied terrain.
