It's all about extended seat tubes... Loving the bike stand though.
Black Cat bikes from Santa Cruz. Makers of some of the nicest dropouts...
A nice Black Cat take on the 'classic' singlespeed. (Since when were 29in wheels classic?)
Van Gough paintjob anyone?

 

Get yer qwalidee fixie wear here!

 

 

 

 

 

 

A deliberately dirty bike? Or just 'cos it's been ridden? We hope the latter.

 

Swap the bars and this Caletti might make a good UCI legal 'crosser.

 

Bamboo. Yes, it's still around...

 

 

Paul Components. Making a living out of the niche for years. Great folks too.

 

Wiggley titanium tubes from Black Sheep

 

It was 'Edge' and now it's 'Enve' - makers of carbon everything!

 

A snowbike for delivering beer and pizzas? Yes please!

 

 

Ira Ryan with a brave colour choice that seems to work rather well.

 

Independent Fabrication. Winner of 'Best TIG Welding'

 

It's a Naked bike...

 

Check out the apparent lack of headset, seatpost or, in fact anything that's not purely 'bike'
