Edit: just re read title

..show me yours !

This applies to bikes only ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ˜†

The then niche seems more two a penny now.

I've done the SS thing but fancy a big wheeler.

Logic says On-One but I am completely brand agnostic.

So show me yours........bikes that is.

I love my o-o. Sometimes SS with 120mm big forks, sometimes carbon rigid, sometimes rohloff'd. Very versatile.

Stoner: That is lovely

Ti?

What size is it? I typically ride a 19'' or 20'' and when you through 29'' wheels into the equation they typically look like gates - but yours looks 8)

I bought a complete bike. One off. Rides fantastic, frame isn't the best quality I've ever seen but for off the peg ss/29er I couldn't find a better match.

EBB is pants so I purchased a carver EBB to stop the creak. And put hope minis on 'cos I hate cable brakes.

I still love my flux , but I reckon I've got lazy riding it and I wanted a reason to stand up and take the stress out of my back.

Tom that Shand looks fantastic - they (Shand) seem to have an excellent reputation for their frame building/repairs. DO you have some more pics?

Also I must be the only person who has never heard of Singular bikes ๐Ÿ˜ณ

letmetalktomark - yes Mr Shand (he's a one man band) does have an excellent reputation for his framebuilding. [url] http://www.shandcycles.com [/url] I'm really happy with mine.
Some pics of when I took it over to Colorado for the singlespeed world champs in September:

John - nice new paint!

Here's my new one.

on-one inbred nothing bling. Being ridden instead of againsta wall. this is pretty much the default bike out of the shed these days. the other bike is a simple.
sorry for small pic, i do not understand how to get the image link from flickr anymore, as the option i used to use has dissappeared?
