    They ain’t singlespeeds, they’re just kids bikes with no gears.

    N-N-B on his Dawes, followed by me on my old Inbred. 63mm of travel and V brakes. Happy days.

    1994 Rock Lobster that I owned from new with 2002 MX Pro forks and magic 34:18 ratio. Great fun bike and only sold last year.

    And for RD’s delight is his old Unit that I bought off him and used at the SSWC in Aviemore.

    Currently running this 456 with magic ratio of 32:17 (despite having a tensioner in this shot)

    Modded my Dekerf with old bits and a short 105 mech for a ride to the sunrise on Holmbury Hill as 2000 clicked into place. Foggy morning. No sun. No pic.

    First and only. Owned since new. Bodged singlespeed 7 years ago with a home made tensioner… until the chainstay snapped and then modded localy (Alves).

    Does the job.
