It's not odd, you're just doing it wrong.
Cheers miketually... very constructive 🙂
Not sure what u can do wrong though.. copy and paste image source into the correct bracket bits... worked before just not anymore. I was blaming Flickr, although it is far more likely to be me!
You know the image source/url is
then you type :
[ img ]>
<[ / img ]
Without the spaces.
Ahhh, i think i see where i have gone wrong, although not sure where the
<
comes from, the source i get doesn't look like that! I'll just continue to play, sure i`ll figure it out, cheers for the help!
It appears we have hijacked this thread a little bit... back to nice SS 🙂
stevek's is my favourite, nice clean lines on that 🙂
To throw an ugly spanner in the works here's my singlespeed. It must be bling, the sun glistens off the chrome bits!

Depending how much use it gets after uni it'll be sold/traded for a proper SS, either an MTB or SS road bike (Charge Plug!).
unique frame (surely to God there can't be another?!)
titanium handlebar
rare dynamo front hub
how bling do you want your singlespeed?

Ok so it's not quite up there with the uber bling beardy singlespeeds but there's not too many around and I have a little dog in the pic so that's got to count in my favour.

That Penance Ultraniche SS69 belt drive one is streets ahead of all the others. So so nice! Reminds me of a Velocette... mmm how does it ride?
Funny you should mention Velocette. Ex owner here.
The Penance as shown handles slightly better than a wheelbarrow at low speed. Once it's tooling along it's fine.
That problem is down to sticking a 29er wheel on it with a suspension corrected 26" fork. Pushes the headangle out too far, and the fork offset is wrong.
So now it has a new fork. (Sorry about the mud on it - I was testing it in some bogholes)

It now handles much better. I reckon I could drop the front another 10mm with a bit more judicious modification of the frame (spare 5mm in headtube) and lower the crown race further down the steerer (5mm).
I'll consider that when testing the springer fork tomorrow. I'm taking it around the 'Puffer course.
That looks even more awesome!
OMG eaqlly that wins that is awesome i want it please

I always enjoy seeing that Fisher!
I thought my 853 simple was resaonably bling but obviously not 😥 My wallet thought it was bling enough.

waiting on a brooks b72 saddle to come up on ebay.
Cheers Clembo, the parts have come together over several years and then when the frame came up last year I sold camera kit to fund it. Can barely find the time to ride it though :'(
No worries. I know what you mean about finding time to ride. I try and "make" time to ride but that never seems to work
epicyclo- im about to head out on the puffer, if i bump into you i want a shot! will I post the picture of andy riding it in the square? 😕
The Penance looks better in the flesh folks and it didnt ride all that badly around the car park 😀
This is my "bling singlespeed":

No doubt I can look forward to some "your bike's worth less than £5000, so it's rubbish" type comments. Hey ho.

bling bike or not theres no danger it'd be allowed to hump my couch

Blinglespeeds?

It gets a bit randy sometimes!
In truth, I thought I'd just go for something a bit different from the usual "in garage"/"against plain wall"/"on trail"/"in garden" options. The sofa's not only ugly, but uncomfortable too, so I wasn't going to worry too much for its sake!

Heres my IF tat.

Nah, don't post a pic of Singlespeed Carbon Andy - he's still a closet SSer
Besides, you know he'll make you really really suffer next training session 🙂
witty.name, now [i]that's[/i] a bling singlespeed! Tell me that's a King Ti headset and an Erikson 'Sweetpost' and I'll give you my vote as the winner 🙂
Some very nice bikes in here, thanks for your responses and keep um coming!
My new Fox forks have arrived today as well as a matching rear tyre - lol.
I have to decide on finishing kit (bars, stem seat post), I all ready have brakes I want to keep and I have decided on the wheels. Just need the funds to finish it!!

What can I say, I know my titanium bling 😳 Took a punt on the seatpost based on all the other boutique bits on there, seemed a fair bet 😉
i think the wokmiester is in Italy doing some work for a change.
so here's the towel rail in all its glory
