Not seen a pic thread for a while so thought I would do one with a twist.
SS Bikes but the frame must be designed for (conventional) gears and thus have a gear hanger.
Any type of bike for any purpose will do. From rigid to FS.
Show me them.

The second photo is an old Giant Stonebreaker. I had horizontal dropouts put on it but kept the original gear hanger just in case and now have an old Campag triple groupset on it.

I said conversions not convictions!

Excuse the his and hers photo but its the only one I have of the bike geared up @ the moment.

With gaylord gearing on 32:17 and in its element using an eno eccentric rear hub!
Only two?

Done using an eccentriker BB.
In it's original incarnation about 4 years ago....

And as it was last built up when owned by me about 3 years ago (and yes I had stopped because the saddle had shifted)....
My old inbred in SS mode

I wouldn't be so sure have you seen the last Kona?
1994 Rock Lobster. I think this was magic ratio in this pic, but it's got an On-One doofer on at the moment. Used for kiddie seat rides now.

my 97 cone converted firstly as magic ration but when that was not so magic I used a DMR chain tensioner...



I now have problem with the tensioner as I cannot get enough tension on the chain whether it is above or below the chain. Do I need to change the chain length?
Nope the tension seeker name is aspirational, it seeks tension and fails lol
I had one, i replaced it with a bolt up type without spring.
did its first race last night and performed admirably

Just built this earlier today and gave it a very wet first Pentands outing earlier:

Last time I ran a singlespeed was also a geared conversion, however it's back to gears now:
