    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.

    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)….

    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.

    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:
