Not seen a pic thread for a while so thought I would do one with a twist.
SS Bikes but the frame must be designed for (conventional) gears and thus have a gear hanger.
Any type of bike for any purpose will do. From rigid to FS.
Show me them.

The second photo is an old Giant Stonebreaker. I had horizontal dropouts put on it but kept the original gear hanger just in case and now have an old Campag triple groupset on it.

And as it was last built up when owned by me about 3 years ago (and yes I had stopped because the saddle had shifted)....

I wouldn't be so sure have you seen the last Kona?
1994 Rock Lobster. I think this was magic ratio in this pic, but it's got an On-One doofer on at the moment. Used for kiddie seat rides now.

my 97 cone converted firstly as magic ration but when that was not so magic I used a DMR chain tensioner...

I now have problem with the tensioner as I cannot get enough tension on the chain whether it is above or below the chain. Do I need to change the chain length?
Nope the tension seeker name is aspirational, it seeks tension and fails lol
I had one, i replaced it with a bolt up type without spring.
did its first race last night and performed admirably

Last time I ran a singlespeed was also a geared conversion, however it's back to gears now:
