Not actually a cross bike - an old road bike. First converted to fixed, then to SS as a CX bike. Ratio was 40x18 then 39x20 for the last HTN.

And in action at said HTN (photo courtesy of JohnClimber of this parish). Scuse the fat arse.

Like the idea of a Traitor, but not sure I've the balls to race CX singlespeed it's tough enough with twenty.

I have a genesis day one running 42x18 used almost daily for the commute and some off road detours on the way home - love it. No pics tho'!

Same as Cupra. Run it at anything from 42x18 to 42x14 fixed. Surprisingly capable off road.

Had a tricross then got my hands on a cross check. Recently changed the fork and dropped over half a kilo in the process, love this bike to bits. Used to run 42:16/19 but changed to 39:19 for my first race a few weeks ago and seemed about right for slow speed corners and still climbed past folk (although spinning out on flat straights)
If you want to see a gorgeous ss cx then ask Deano T (or find his flickr)
I have a flickr group folk are welcome, in fact encouraged to add to sscx

I think Rorscach off here used to race SS. Though each time he laps me he deffo has at least 9 sprockets....
Anyway, isn't SSCX more of an American thing?

Perhaps some will be along who has a clue how to post an image from flickr straight into the forum.

I can't access flikr here but somewhere in the page will be some code that you can copy and paste into here to show the image.
It'll start {img}http:// except that the curly brackets { } will be square ones []
