I can't help but fettle with my inbred and its been ages since I've posted a pic so here it is...

going to have some new wheels shortly too. (gunsmoke pro 2s / 717s)
I'm ready for the onslaught of people criticising my grass, brick work etc!
oh, and I know the seatpost is on backwards before any tells me that 😛
Why is the seatpost on backwards? Is the frame a little too long for you?
Is the seatpost clamp meant to be at that angle?
Sorry, din't mean to sound critical. It's a nice little bike, and the new wheels will make it pretty nippy!
Can't beat a little SS hardtail.
Its all right Elfinsafety, yes the frame is a little too long for me but with that and the short stem it feels pretty good. Just taken it for its first test ride as a singlespeed - does riding get much better? 😀
Best colour, FACT!!

Definitely!
sorry I couldn't resist updating with the latest picture...

(please excuse the terrible picture!)
Think I'll have to get a seat clamp to match my hubs though..
Definitely faster with the new wheels (and grips!) 😛
Nice fast set of wheels. I like that colour.
Have you tried using an inline seatpost? I don't think one would put the seat too far back.
Looks good to me, like the colour 🙂
Looks a rather large rotor on the back there, bearing in mind the lower speeds of a single speed, nothing wrong, just a commment.
wow! my old wheels have gone to a great home by the looks of it (and had the same tyres fitted to them!)
Enjoy the noise!

I have, and it was OK, its on the list of things to buy when I get some more money...
along some some smaller rotors 😛 (and new cranks 😀 )

Glad you like it 🙂 went for a test ride yesterday, rides even better with the new wheels - thanks 😀

Do single speeds go any slower downhill than geared bikes?
Just for general riding given 100mm travel etc, then no. Enduro, Heckler etc with more focus on the downs then yes.
As I say, personal comment, nothing wrong.
