Seeing as this thread's so old it's closed

http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/show-me-your-bling-singlespeeds

Really needed upgrades:
Frame bag
Bar harness
Big-ass seat pack/harness for another dry bag
The lockout cable shortening.

The Kona Unit looks nice as well, the old style graphics Kona now use is much nicer than their previous attempts.

Here is my spaceframe SS anyway....

thisisnotaspoon - Love the orange on your El Mariachi.

It's ace, my favorite bike color by a very long way, it's an orange with a metallic gold fleck.

Gold hubs and chain in the shed to go on it at some point, but the hubs are in some other wheels and the chains shortened for summer gearing. Forks need dropping to 80mm though as the lower headset adds quite a lot of height over the internal headset. Tempted to re-lace them into some velocity p35 rims, but already have 3 sets of 29er wheels in varying bling levels and only one 29er!

The Mantra actually works really well as SS. It's a URT design so tends to lock out due to the pressure from the pedal stroke and also the chain length doesn't change.

The Phoenix and the Klein don't get out as much as the Inbred but both get used when the sun is out. I took the Klein around Swinley last year and it got quite a few comments but then it is more obviously unusual looking.

The Phoenix is pending some rigid steel forks. I really wanted to put Potts Type 2 forks on but the cost is a bit silly so going with Salsa Cro Moto.

after the forks snapped I bought some black sheep Ti forks but the rest of the build remained the same... subtle bling I like to think.

Nice Ibis. I had a steel Single Malt on order from them when they went out of business back in about 2000 or 2001. I never got the bike unfortunately (they never charged me though).

I don't normally comment on such things but that is a hell of a lot of arse perch tubing on show.

My SS has not seen a lot of cash (or indeed riding time) thrown at it recently so I'll decline, bit* of a part time SSer lately

Weeksy ^^^ klein mantra, guy near me has a black one, not SS iirc

It's got Klein written on it, therefore it is bling, fact. 😆

I'd post my Niner, it being the blingiest of them all and worthy of a page all on it's own, however due to the fact that I can't post pics from where I am you will all have to imagine what a thing of beauty it is.

Ohhhh no, it's waaaaayyyyy better than that 😉

Curtis S1, Cromotos, Middleburn Uno, DMR/Mavic/WI wheelset, Renthal Fatbars, now with a 70mm Thomson X4, SLX brakes and SDG I-Beam seat/post.

Likes doing this kinda stuff in the woods with its mates:

That Blacksheep looks like it was designed by a fullblown mongtard.

I've still got the Ti Blacksheep seatpost from it if you want to make me an offer?
It'd finish it off nice. 😉

Still think it looked betterer when it had a bit of King Mongo tat bolted to it. 🙂

Purchased my wheels (mavic xc717) and new brakes for the ss build tonight. Can't bloody wait to get her built up and in here.

All being built onto my shed dwelling scandal so the bits excluding the frame and bits in the shed already will be about £200. Delighted 8)
