Neuhaus Metalworks sent me this Hummingbird with sliding dropouts to replace my damaged hummingbird. Today I build it up with some of my all-time favorite parts to create a dream singlespeed hardtail. This is a steel hardtail made in Marin, CA and it uses 3d printed yokes, hand-welded tubing, and one of the best ride feels I've found to date. In fact, I named the hummingbird the hardtail of the year in 2022. Nick is a small builder and builds these one at a time in his small shop. Learn more about this model here: https://bit.ly/3UrDDEi
